Brisbane Catholic Education, Trinity College (2025)
Trinity College Beenleigh was thrilled to recently welcome Study Skills specialist Dr Prue Salter.
The session was an opportunity for students to reflect on achievements in learning, identify areas for growth, and explore practical strategies to support ongoing success in high school.
Dr Salter’s session provided actionable advice on mastering study at home, staying focused amidst distractions, managing time effectively, and creating personalised, brain-friendly study notes.
She also introduced a variety of active study techniques that cater to different learning preferences, empowering students to take control of their academic journey. Dr Salter emphasised the importance of building sustainable routines that align with individual needs and aspirations.
By developing consistent habits, such as setting aside dedicated study blocks, prioritising tasks, and regularly reviewing their progress, students can reduce stress and maintain a sense of balance amidst the demands of senior school.
These skills are not only crucial for academic success but also lay a strong foundation for managing future responsibilities in tertiary education and beyond.
Trinity College Beenleigh would like to thank Dr Prue Salter for sharing her insights and expertise with our students. Parents are encouraged to explore the session's slides and handouts with students, fostering further discussions about areas that may benefit from positive changes.
Let's continue to support our students to achieve their full academic potential and work towards the next chapter of their lives.
Trinity College Beenleigh Year 10 student Dominic Goodwin says that while he didn't know what to expect before he went into the session; but afterwards - he knew it already changed the way he thought about his studies.
"As soon as I got home I already made a calendar for my everyday life and took her advice," Dominic says.
"I have been studying at home and school way more than I ever have this year and it’s already been a big help. I’m glad I got to go to this experience before year 11."
