Year 7/8: Elevate Study Session
Starting their academic journey at Scotch can be a daunting time for the boys, who need to come to grips not only with a higher workload but a number of new expectations placed upon them. What the study skills workshops aim to do, is not only manage that transition for new boarding boys but to help them build a foundation in which to improve as the year continues.
The boys participated in their second workshop of the year – effective notetaking, having already participated in the dynamic reading skills workshop in Summer Term.
The presenters are well equipped and very personable helping keep the engagement in the room when delivering what can be a ‘dry’ topic. So far, all boys have graded their sessions “two thumbs up” and are looking forward to the next installment. The third workshop, conceptual learning techniques will take place early next term.
