Study week took place in OLS from Monday 7th – Friday 11th October. There were many different activities for each year group which took place during form class. Our first year students attended a talk from Rachel Dignam, Lean Barry and Caoilin Dunne on the importance of doing homework and on how to make clear and concise notes. (pictured below) Congratulations to all the first year students who entered the Design a study space competition. The winner will be announced later this week.
Our second year students were visited by a number of TY students during form class who shared study techniques that worked well for them before their exams last June. The third year students attended a talk on healthy eating for healthy studying in the lecture hall delivered by Ms. Surlis and Ms. Kelly.
Along side these talks, teachers were sharing subject specific study skills in their classes during the week. The form teachers were helping students from 1st to 6th year establish their academic goals and showed them how to use their homework journals to track these goals. There were daily study skill announcements made over the intercom including a brain teaser on Thursday. Congratulations to Emma Myler in second year who was the winner of the brain teaser.
Well done to all the students who engaged with this week and to the teachers for their hard work in preparing and delivering the different classes during form time..
