Surviving

Senior

Message from the Editor:

Welcome to senior years! During these final two years of your schooling, you

will encounter super highs and super lows, kind of like a roller coaster. On the

upside you can look forward to the formation of new friendships with your cohort

and teachers, as well as numerous privileges and invitations to fun-filled events.

You probably won’t be able to avoid the downside: friendships may fall apart,

stress will prevail, there will be numerous tears and at times you may feel like

running to Uluru. There will be times when you are overwhelmed after being

inundated with tests and assignments. If you are planning on partying all of the

Term 1 holiday break, don’t, because you most probably have at least 2 oral

transcripts to write. There will be times when you will be exhausted and the roller

coaster may seem to descend to the core of the earth. You will encounter descents

not only at school but in your life. You must pick yourself up, dust yourself off and

steer to the top again. This is the only way you will achieve your goals. What you

have to remember is that everyone in your year group is going through the exact

same ups and downs that you are and that these stressful times will prepare you for

the real world, aka, life after school.

Yes, there will be times when your friends are mad at you, not because of

you, but because they are stressed. Yes, you will have to learn to put school

commitments before social commitments (don’t give in to Uppa chips – they can

wait). And yes, you will be asked a million times “What do you want to do with your

life?” And it will be scary to think about life after school. Guess what? The future

doesn’t matter now. What happens, happens now, so live now, where the action is.

This 56 page booklet is our present to you. Treat this booklet as your bible for the

next two years. Inside is a world of knowledge about how to survive the lows of

school and steer to the top again. So, from girls who have been there and done it

before, we hope that this helps you in some way, shape or form. We wish you all the

luck in the world, and hope that you enjoy the roller coaster that is senior years,

because trust us; it will all be gone in a flash.

Morning: Your alarm goes off. Wake up. Take a deep breath and prepare yourself

for the day ahead. Eat a healthy, balanced breakfast to help stave off hunger until

recess (and to keep focused). Depending on how late you were up studying last

night, drink a coffee. Drive (or catch the bus) to school.

School: Arrive to PC in time for Morning Prayer, and to have a chat with your

friends. This is a good time to talk to your PC teacher about how your assessment in

going and if you need any help. You can also visit your Year Coordinator if you have

any major concerns (and can’t see her during the day). In period 1 you might have a

free and because you can’t leave school grounds before recess, you can spend it in

the library catching up on work. Ms Plowman is an excellent resource if you need

help researching for an assignment. During a morning study line, condensing notes

or researching is one of the easiest activities you can do because this is when your

brain is most active. In period 2, you head to class and take in-depth notes. Try not

to get distracted by your laptop.

Eating at recess is advisable, because you need brain power to keep you going

through the day. Try to at least have a light snack, like some fruit and a muesli bar.

Because this day is a best-case scenario, you have a double free. While they’re

always convenient and fun, double frees should be used wisely. It may be tempting

to spend the entire time at Manuka with your friends but try to only spend period 4

there (that way you can stay there at lunch, without wasting study time). In period

3, you could do a group study activity if you have similar classes to your friends.

Another wise idea is to catch up with teachers if you need clarification. Eat lunch

with your friends (occasionally in Manuka or at Uppa). In period 5 and 6, you go to

class as usual and try to stay awake.

Afternoon/Evening: Drive or catch the bus home. As soon as you get home,

consider meditating or having 30 minutes of relaxation before studying or doing

homework. In the St Clare’s Senior Handbook, it’s recommended you do at least 3

hours of homework/study a night. Not everyone has time for this though. That’s

why you can cut down the time in the afternoon by doing it throughout the day. Be

sure to have an afternoon snack and get stuck into study. Eat dinner then do some

more study or reading. Always make sure you have a regular sleeping schedule and

that you’re not going to bed too late. A good thing to do is to take a few minutes to

reflect on the day and plan for tomorrow.

MORE THAN JUST

AN ASBA

An interview with Aliesha Lalliard

By Catherine Langron

8

What made you decide to do accredited instead of tertiary? There were two reasons for my decision to do an accredited package. The first was that I had decided to participate in an Australian School Based Apprenticeship (ASBA). When you participate in an ASBA, it is a lot of extra work and takes you out of school and away from other subjects. This makes it difficult to keep up with a tertiary package. The second reason was that the career path I was aiming for did not require me to go to university so I did not need an ATAR. I considered my options if I did change my mind and wanted to go to university and realised there were plenty of pathways to take. What is an ASBA? An ASBA is an Australian School Based Apprenticeship. It is a program that allows you to study at school while also studying a subject of your choice in a workplace environment. It requires dedication, commitment and organisation. While you are in the workplace, you will have coursework to complete which is beneficial because it all relates to your job. When you complete your ASBA, you will finish with a certificate in the course you studied. What are the advantages of an ASBA? There are countless advantages to participating in an ASBA. You are given a wonderful opportunity to finish college with a qualification in an area of your interest as well as practical experience in a workplace. As well as learning, there are other benefits such as improving your communication and organisational skills and basic workplace manners like how to joke, act and address colleagues etc. Participating in an ASBA is also a great thing to have on a resume. It shows employers that you can manage time and also have experience in the workplace. Another major advantage of participating in an ASBA is the benefit of being paid for the time you are working. Was it difficult to manage normal school and your ASBA? It is not difficult to manage normal school tasks and an ASBA at the same time if you are aware of what needs to be done. Most of the time it is very easy to manage both. I found it easiest to just allocate time for the coursework as I would for any school subject. It does get harder at assessment time because you might be attending your ASBA on days when you have assessment. When this happens, you need to be prepared by knowing the dates of your assessment and always speaking to your teacher prior to the assessment and allocating a new time to complete the work. What did you do to cope? I just managed my time and tried to stay as organised as possible. I made sure to always co-ordinate and communicate with my teachers. You will be supported by the Australian Training Company and be provided with someone to help you with your coursework (similar to a teacher at school). If you are in need of any further information, the St Clare’s College Careers Advisor will support you.

WHAT TO LOOK

FORWARD TO AS

A St Clare’s

Senior

10

After being at the top of the school in Year 6 and returning to the bottom when you began high school, you have finally made it back to the top of the school hierarchy.

Congratulations! Senior years come with their perks, and below are some of the things that you can look forward to in your life as a Senior.

Free periods

No longer having to take eight classes means you can now enjoy having a number of “frees” in your timetable. However, these periods should be used as study time to work on assignments/study for tests. This is a necessity if you want to be organised and avoid the last-minute rush before an assessment piece is due. Another perk is being able to leave during free periods which means you can go home as soon as you finish classes for the day.

Clare Lawn

Seniors can enjoy sitting at the front of the school on Clare Lawn. Know that there is a little patch of St Clare’s that is just for you! Clare Lawn is also a great area to sit with friends during free periods when your assessment load has lessened.

Choosing your classes

Gone are the days of having to attend the mandatory subjects of junior years. As a senior you get to choose classes that you really enjoy and/or interest you. If you find that you don’t like one of your classes or it’s not what you expected, you can change to a different subject (however, try to make this decision within the first few weeks of Term One for convenience’s sake).

Senior events

As a senior, you can now attend events exclusively for seniors such as Trivia Night. These events are a great way to meet new people from other schools and have a great time with your friends. Seniors can also look forward to the nearing formal/graduation at the end of Year 12.

New opportunities

Seniors can find new opportunities to become involved in College life. You can become involved in committees at school or even suggest and create a new committee. At the end of Year 11, everyone has the opportunity to run for leadership positions such as House Captain and the various College Captain positions.

As with many things, you get as much out of your time as a Senior as you are willing to put in. So work hard, try something new, get involved and aim to get the most out

of your final two years of high school.

Throughout my junior years at St Clare's College, I participated in no extra-curricular activities and had no time management skills to speak of. Apparently, this isn't uncommon. However unmotivated or unenthusiastic you are, I assure you that you will participate in at least one extra-curricular activity in your time as a year 11. Last year, I was a member of the Seeker Magazine, Debating Team, a tutor and had a part-time job. Dealing with all that, staying healthy, having a social life and keeping up with school work wasn’t easy, so I have some time management tips that should help you. Study lines seem like all fun and games, and some of the time they are. You can get a coffee from Uppa Cafe, catch up on homework and have a chat with your friends. But honestly, most of the time it turns out you only have the ability to have a chat or get a coffee. As any senior will tell you, study lines are by far your most valuable asset that the school gives you to help with time management. It’s not uncommon to see senior girls with their books, notes and assessment sheets colour coded. This is one of the easiest and most helpful exercises you can do to help stay organized and cut down stress. Developing good organisational skills is something that you’re supposed to do in year 7. But sometimes other things (like that cute boy

from the bus) got in the way and distracted you from that. In the first few weeks of school, you should colour code your subjects, make weekly planners (taking into consideration things like sports, extra-curricular activities, study and homework loads, and shifts at work), and put all of your assessment due dates into your diary/calendar. That should help to reduce stress and last-minute assignments. While night-before assignments are common in junior years, it’s not such a good idea to do it as a senior. A way to combat this is to make an assessment planner. Put all of your assignments, tests and in-classes in one place. Whether it be a huge calendar above your bed or a list in your diary, just make sure it’s somewhere obvious. Another smart idea is to put reminders in your phone (remember to put reminders for drafts due dates too!). This method will help you to identify when you have busy weeks of assessment, and when combined with your weekly planner, you are able spread your work out accordingly. Being a senior is far from easy, even if some people make it look that way. Always remember that the school has support networks. If you ever feel too stressed, take a deep breath and look at your planners. While it may be overwhelming, you’ll be able to get through it all with good time management skills.

STUDYING

effectively By Catherine Langron

16

There are a few things you should do to study in the most effective way possible:

Find a good place to study

You need to find a place to study where you can concentrate. Make sure it’s a place

where you have all the materials you need, where you feel comfortable, where

there aren’t too many distractions (use one of the apps that blocks social media on

your phone/laptop, and don’t study in front of the TV) and where you are not going

to get interrupted by other people.

Manage your time

Consider creating a schedule and incorporating study into your everyday routine.

Have a calendar or use your diary and mark in all your commitments for the week

(including classes, extra-curricular activities, eating, sleeping etc.), so you can

then identify the gaps and use those gaps as study time.

When you have identified a study time, mark it in like an appointment so you

know you have that time set aside (include this in your phone so you get

reminders, try using the app any.do)

Then have a daily list of things you need to do, including what you would like to

get done in your studying time, so you use it effectively.

You should split your studying or assignments into stages, (try using the RMIT

assignment planner) and in your study time, plan specific goals or tasks you want to

achieve in that time. For this you can use SMART goals.

S: Specific: well defined

M: Measurable: knowing when the goal is completed, and how long it is going to

take to complete

A: Achievable/Action oriented: goals with obvious outcomes

R: Realistic: knowing you are actually able to achieve the goal

T: Time based: giving yourself enough time to complete the goal

E.g. don’t say “write essay” as your plan for your study time. Say you will spend an

hour drafting the first paragraph of your essay or you will find 3 relevant articles for

your research assignment. This should make tasks more achievable as they are

divided into chunks, but if not everything gets done, just carry tasks over to the next

day’s to do list.

Use this time effectively

When you actually begin to study there are some ways to manage time. For productive

use of time you can try the “Pomodoro method.” This is when you work for 25 minutes

and then take a break for 5 minutes (called a Pomodoro).When you have done four

pomodoros (100 minutes of work time with 15 minutes of break time) you take a 15 – 20

minute break. This method is supposed to improve productivity by giving you a long

enough period of time to achieve goals, but to prevent loss of concentration with short,

regular breaks. In each Pomodoro you should also spend a couple of minutes at the

beginning recapping the task at hand, and the last few minutes reviewing the task.

If this method doesn’t work for you, just study in a way that suits you. If you begin to

lose concentration, go get a drink of water or go outside for a few minutes and then

resume studying. One tip for making good use of time is to have a floating task for

periods of time that aren’t very long (e.g. on the bus), but that will make that short

period of time productive, for example reading an article relevant to an assignment or

going over flash cards for a test.

Use Your Notes Well

To be able to review information effectively, you have to have the information in the

first place which is primarily found in your class notes.

Make sure all your notes are in a notebook or on your laptop.

If you use your laptop, OneNote is a great way to keep your notes organised.

Have them in order, dated and with clear headings and/or with any references to

textbooks or websites noted on them so you can use them in the future.

Consider your notes in class a rough draft, concentrating on getting down as much as

you can of what your teacher is saying.

Rewrite your notes at home filling in any gaps and looking up any concepts you’re

unsure of. This ensures you have the information you are going to need when it

comes to a test or exam but rewriting notes rather than just reading also reinforces

information more effectively.

The more you paraphrase the better. If you can write your notes more concisely the second time around and in your own words, it again reinforces the material.

When you rewrite you notes, use different coloured pens and highlighters, and use drawings and flowcharts to help you remember them better.

Review your notes frequently: after you have learnt something in class you should go

home and review it that night or during that week. You should then review them at

intervals and again before a test or exam

If you are writing your notes from a textbook don't just read the information from

beginning to end. Try reading the introduction, headings, the first sentence of every

paragraph and the chapter summary first so you have a good idea about the chapter as a

whole. Highlight or use sticky notes as you read through to pinpoint the important

information and then write the information up as notes.

Studying Effectively

There are many things you can do to improve studying for tests and exams and make the

time you spend studying more worthwhile.

Read your notes out loud; you're more likely to remember something if you speak it out loud instead of simply reading it over and over

Teach it to someone else: The best way to test if you understand something is to try and teach it to someone else

Make associations; try to relate new ideas to old ideas that you are familiar with to reinforce your knowledge, using a flowchart whilst studying can assist with this

Study with a partner or in groups and peer teach Use flashcards: use an app or index cards and write a phrase on one side and the

information related to that phrase on the other Make a study sheet: try and condense the information you will need into one sheet,

have it with you and look at it whenever you can before the test. Use mneomonics: Mneomonics are memory aids and come in all forms. They can be

especially useful in remembering information for tests, particularly if you make mnemonics using information that is familiar or relevant to you. You could:

Make an acronym Find an analogy Make the information into a narrative

Examples: Big elephants can always understand little elephants (how to spell “because”) Never eat soggy Weetbix (remember: North, East, South and West).

These are just a sample of strategies for more effective studying, be sure to look at the

websites on the apps and resources page for more information.

Go to a library:

The National Library Your local public library St Clare's library - the lovely librarians are always happy to help

Look in the St Clare's Curriculum guide:

Has plenty of useful information besides writing a bibliography Go to the St Clare’s public website and search for the document under

‘Publications’. Download it to your desktop so you can access it when you need it

Set up a group chat or Facebook page:

Set up a class page or chat People can post homework questions and answers or you can discuss

assignments if you're stuck

1. Watching a video on a topic or concept you are studying often makes it easier to

understand and gives you the perfect amount of context and information. So try searching the topic you're researching on YouTube and watch a documentary or tutorial on it.

2. If you want a summary of something, go to www.simple.wikipedia.org and get

a simplified version of the information you need. 3. Times New Roman is the fastest font to read. So if you have reading to do, try

copying and pasting information into Word and changing the font. 4. Eating grapes improves your mind's ability to process information, so snack on

some whilst studying. 5. If you’re in an exam or test and can't remember something, clench your fist; this

increases brain activity and improves memory. 6. Whilst studying, spray an unfamiliar scent and spray it again right before the

test, your brain will make a connection and it may help you remember information (you can also do this with an unfamiliar gum flavour).

7. Go for a walk before an exam: it’s been proven that exercise can boost your

memory and brain power. 8. Copy and paste your essay or assignment into Google Translate and listen to the

English translation. This way you will pick up on any mistakes you've made as it is read out loud.

TOP TEN BOOKS to read while studying

Reading a good book is a great way to combat the stress of study and to relax the mind and body. Reading shouldn’t be done as a form of procrastination, but as a reward or anti-stress activity in the height of the study period. So, the book

mustn’t be one that will have you reading for hours because you can’t put it down, (Harry Potter comes to mind here) but it should still be stimulating for the mind and one that you enjoy! I suggest reading in small breaks between

studying and in bed to clear your mind just before you go to sleep.

WTF?!

By Katelyn Tsipiras

*(What the Free?!)

28

One of the most integral elements to success in senior studies is the

EFFECTIVE USE OF FREES, a skill which, if mastered early, almost

guarantees success. If not mastered early, then you can master it

later or whatever. Effective use of frees comes naturally to no one, so

freaking out when you realise you have loads of homework and no

time, is perfectly normal.

Start your day by planning ahead. Make a list of everything you have

to do, then prioritise; list things as 'stuff I have to do today', 'stuff I'd

like to do today' and 'stuff I'll do later'. Figure out what classes and

frees you have that day, then simply allocate tasks to periods! For

example; in period 1 I will do my religion essay because it's due in

period 2, then in the double I'll do my maths homework.

Make sure you create incentives and reward yourself. I cannot stress

enough how important wasting time, Facebook and Uppa are to a

balanced study diet, so plan 'study breaks' into your day. Allocate a

particular line, period, or time of day when you won't do anything -

these can be your 'break periods'. This way you will feel more

inclined to work hard in your 'study periods' and classes and are

reinvigorated by your 'break periods'. I, for example, don't do any

work in my frees after lunch or on Line G.

Lastly, make sure you know what everyone else is doing. Ask what

periods your friends and teachers have free so you know when you

can ask for help, or when you need to hide in the library from chatty

crowds. Best wishes!!!

pieces of

For seniors A survey was emailed to the seniors of 2014 where they were asked to

contribute any advice they had learnt that year. This is a collaboration of

all the responses we received and we hope you find them worthwhile.

Do subjects you enjoy. This will motivate you to work harder. Also, don’t be a drop kick loser and wag your classes; instead, pass your classes by attending them whilst learning to highlight everything! (this will help a lot). Ask your teachers lots of questions. They are the ultimate source of knowledge along with your new best friends, the librarians (yes, you heard right; the librarians. You will not be disappointed). Use your frees (sorry, "study lines") wisely. Study with people who are going to help you get through your workload rather than hinder you. And above all, if the thought arises during one of your study periods, ask yourself: “Is Uppa really worth it?” (And no, the answer is always no). Start everything in advance. Revise early and always hand in drafts (you will be guaranteed a better mark, always). If you have assessment to do during the holidays, don’t put it off. Do it ASAP and you’ll be grateful for it later. Plan everything. Use your diary and stay organized. Practice your English orals so you’ll be less stressed on Oral Day. Finally, consider handwriting your class notes. This will help you retain information and exercise your hands come exam time (which unfortunately, requires everything to be handwritten…..) Make sure you still have balance. Be social and make sure you exercise and eat well. Stay mentally well too by being open to new things and staying positive. You may be surprised. When you feel stressed, don't forget to talk to all the people around you. Seek support because it is always there. And yes; it’s ok to cry. As Shrek once said, “Better out than in!” Persistence is key. Try your hardest because you will never regret trying your best. And if it doesn’t work out, remember, even monkeys fall out of trees. Procrastinating will only make things worse. As interesting as YouTube, Tumblr and Facebook may be, don’t waste your time on social media. You’ll be the one sitting a 2 hour maths exam, not Kanye West or Kim Kardashian. Work hard, but don’t forget to have fun! There are so many great things to get involved in during senior. Lastly, not matter how bad it gets, remember that your ATAR is not the meaning of life no matter how much it may seem that way.

Eat Well, Eat Right

Nutrition:

Break-the-fast I don’t know about you, but trying to focus when I’m hungry is mission impossible! It’s so, so important to eat a nice, big breaky so that we can remain energised and focused throughout the school day. However, many of us are guilty of skipping the most important meal of the day because we don’t feel like eating first thing in the morning or we run out of time. Coming into Year 11, where you need as much energy and attention as possible, it’s time to overcome these excuses. If you’re time poor in the morning, cut up some fruit the night before, or take your breakfast with you. Yoghurt and muesli in some Tupperware is always a winner or drink a fruit smoothie on the bus. Cups of porridge in winter are great also. If you’re really against eating when you first wake up, eat your breakfast when you get to school. You’ll be more energised, more attentive and in a much better mood after a great breakfast.

Lunch Loving Being in Year 11, you will soon be presented with the temptations of Macca’s runs and the famous Uppa Chips. While you should treat yourself to these Senior perks every once in a while, the best piece of advice we can offer is to pack your own lunch! Not only will you be able to pack healthier food choices, but you’ll save yourself a massive amount of cash and use your study lines productively. If you don’t have the time in the morning to pack a substantial lunch, set aside some time the night before. Some lunchtime gems are sandwiches, wraps, salads and soup in a thermos with bread on the side during winter. Nourish not Punish Unfortunately, many of us treat healthy eating as a chore or form of punishment rather than the simple, wonderful way of life that it is. It shouldn’t be a

complicated process. Fuel yourself with the right stuff and treat yourself in moderation. I think that the worst thing that we do to ourselves is decide that certain foods are ‘forbidden.’ This only makes us crave these foods more! We then give into the temptation and feel bad about ourselves; a horrible attitude to have about food! Eating your favourite treats in moderation is key so that you eat the right foods the majority of the time, but are not punishing or depriving yourself either. Another really helpful tool to eat healthily is to focus on filling your body with nutrients, rather than ‘counting calories.’ Think about all the great things you are fuelling your body with, rather than thinking about all the things you are restricting yourself from. Personally, I think healthy eating has very little to do with discipline and is instead, all about appreciating, nourishing and looking after yourself. Food for Thought Here is a list of vitamins found in foods you already eat all the time and, if not, can easily be incorporated into your eating routine. These vitamins are going to give you all the superpowers you need to smash the school year!

Vitamin B2 helps convert your food into energy needed to last a long day of study, sport or school. Get a dose from milk, spinach, asparagus, yoghurt, almonds and mushrooms.

Vitamin B1 helps you to cope with stress. Get a dose from wholegrains, lentils, pork, nuts and peas.

Vitamin D helps you to stay happy! Get a dose from eggs, oily fish like salmon (and a study sesh out in the sunshine).

Magnesium helps to relax your body. Get a dose from wholegrain bread, brown rice, green leafy vegetables, nuts and raw chocolate.

Vitamin C helps ward off infection, so that you don’t get a cold during busy assessment periods! Get a dose from citrus fruits, i.e. oranges, kiwi fruit, and capsicum.

Zinc helps your immune system, also making sure you limit those sick days, and it makes the most out of nutrients from other foods. Get a dose from milk, nuts, lean read meat, cheese and wholegrains.

Relationships For better or for worse:

in Year 11

By Ashleigh Watson

Moving into senior years at St Clare’s is an incredibly exciting and scary transition. Obviously with such a big adjustment, there is a ripple effect of changes that make going to school quite different to what it used to be. A major difference is the subtle changes in the maturity of your peers and the cooperative approach to class and school life which wasn’t there before. After the initial transition into Year 11, every girl in your year group is now where they are because they chose to be. Some girls may choose to continue their schooling somewhere different in a place that is right for them and this can be difficult, particularly if they are someone close to you. It is hard to deal with a friend leaving school and feeling isolated from them because of it. If this happens, it is important not to isolate yourself from the friends you still have with you because they will be there for you to lean on for the next 2 years. Don’t forget that Canberra is a fairly small place and it is not the end of your friendship but simply a new chance for it to grow. When I was going through the transition with my friends and year group, our Arts and Culture Captain, Alice Brown, told us something that has since stuck with me and proven very true after finishing Year 11. She called it the ’10 week change’ wherein something incredibly poignant and mysterious happens. Everyone seems to grow up and mature. After this mythological period, the teachers begin to see you differently and these relationships change quite obviously. The dynamic between students and teachers becomes more equal, and much more of a give and take occurs than in junior years. As learning becomes a more independent process in senior years, having to actively find teachers to sit down and talk about your work or ask questions breeds a wonderful environment. This is typically conducive to becoming a more proactive student and getting to know your teachers on a more personal level. By the way, it’s totally worth your time to do this because teachers are actually pretty cool people and they’ve got a lot to share. It comes with growing up but the maturity that everyone gains before the beginning of Year 11 contributes heavily to friendships and other relationships. There tends to be a lot less fighting and issues between friends simply because schoolwork and extracurricular activities, boyfriends, girlfriends and family become greater priorities and more equally prevalent in life. Through these changing priorities, the whole year group becomes a lot closer and more cooperative, creating leadership opportunities and growing together. As life gets busier and school becomes stressful, it can be hard dealing with everything and finding time to include everything and everyone you want to. This is when it becomes important to lean on teachers, particularly PC teachers and Year Coordinators who are specifically prepared to deal with these stresses. Look to your friends and family who can ease your stress and add a bit of perspective. People will be a very important part of the next 2 years. You will make many new friends, come to understand the relationships that you need to hold onto and cherish and those you should let go. There may be some hard times and some tears, but there will be many more laughs, loves and accomplishments; I can guarantee it.

and workload in Year 11

Year 11 is quite a big year full of lots of changes and a bit of stress.

However, it doesn’t always have to be super stressful as there are

ways to manage the workload and stress so that you can stay on top

of your studies. These are my tips to managing the stress, work and

balancing act of having a life and completing year 11.

1. Start your assignments when you get them. It sounds

simple and you have probably heard it a million times, but it

can really save you and your grades. Starting early means

that you can hand in a draft which is a big help in senior

years as the expectations are a lot higher than previous

years. Also, starting early gives you an advantage as most

assessment in senior years is scheduled in the same week

and so it allows you to work on other assignments as well.

2. Use your free periods. Frees are a really good time to start

researching for your assignments, find books from the

library for your bibliography and quickly do your homework.

By Lucy Kibble

38

3. At the end of every week make notes or flashcards of the

topics that you have learnt. For example, last year I made

flashcards for Biology and took notes for Psychology

throughout the semester. It only takes half an hour a week

and will save you so much time and stress when exam time

comes. Consider this; instead of having to summarise six

textbook chapters, all you have to do is print your notes. Also,

revising your flashcards weekly will help immensely with

learning all topics for your subjects.

4. Realise that you may have to sacrifice some things (like your

weekends, occasionally) to study. But no need to squalor in

self pity. You get super long holidays to make up for it later.

5. If you’re really stressed, there are lots of people who you can

talk to: teachers, year coordinators, year twelves, and your

friends. We understand what you’re going through and are

more than willing to help!

6. Try to keep things in perspective. Say you got a mark that you

weren’t happy with in one test; try to look at the bigger

picture. It is just one mark out of one course of a subject out of

2 years of study out of your whole life. When you look at it

that way, it doesn’t seem nearly as bad and it makes it easier

to move past it.

Regular exercise and physical activity have many benefits that can improve the overall wellbeing of a person. Obviously they both improve the physical functioning of the body but they can also benefit your social and mental wellbeing as well. Participating in exercise can be a social event just as much as it is a physical activity, especially if you play a team sport. By playing a sport you get the chance to broaden your social networks, make new friends and meet people who share the same interests. During senior, it can be a bit hectic and hard to find time to catch up with your mates outside of school hours. If you join a team and play a sport on a regular basis, this gives you an opportunity to catch up with friends and have a bit of fun getting exercise. Exercise and physical activities can also benefit your mental wellbeing. Through sports and exercise, you begin to build your self-esteem and, in turn, you have a higher level of confidence. During exercise, the body releases endorphins which relieve stress and many of the symptoms of common mental illnesses. Study is an integral aspect of Years 11 and 12 and so it’s really important to get the most out of studying! When you exercise you increase the flow of blood around the body. By doing this, oxygen is reaching all parts of your body and you begin to feel more energized. You’re then able to concentrate more when you return to studying. Some university studies have also shown that exercise can increase your ability to remember facts and content (which is pretty handy when you study!) Exercise comes in all forms from walking the dog, to futsal and even yoga! If you’re looking for a form of exercise that you can do and suits your body, here’s a list.

If you’re looking for individual exercises:

Walking a dog: a chance to get fresh air and move your legs.

Jogging: same effects as walking just at a faster pace.

Swimming: you can cool down and get exercise in one.

Cycling: uses less energy than jogging.

Gym: all the equipment you could think of in one place.

Targeted workouts: if you’re short on time YouTube has a huge selection of workout videos that you can watch and follow.

FIIT sessions: again, if you’re short on time, look at doing FITT sessions once or twice a week.

If you’re looking for exercises to do with a mate:

Yoga: it helps stretch out all your muscles and relieve stress.

Zumba: it’s exercise while you dance.

Gym Classes: if you aren’t comfortable with using gym equipment then grab a mate and do a class.

Many of the ‘alone’ examples can also be done with a mate as well.

If you’re looking for a team sport to play send me an e-mail and I can help you out if not come down to the gym and see Gaz (Mr Garrity). He’ll be able to find you a sport. So as you can see, exercise has a lot of benefits. Besides the physical advantages, there are lots of exercises to choose from. By exercising regularly and completing schoolwork, you can lead a balanced life.
