Elevate Education is a company which provides workshops to students in VCE which are aimed to help them succeed within their studies and achieve their goals. Elevates study skills workshops and seminars are designed to achieve behavioural change amongst students. They believe it isn’t enough that students simply understand what they need to do in their study: the challenge in any study skills programme is getting students to use and apply the skills they learn. Elevate gets students using the skills from its seminars and workshops by using an integrated process that works. At Heathmont this year our year 12’s will be exposed to three workshops across the year ran by Elevate to help them perform better in their VCE studies, information about the sessions and dates they will be ran can be found below. Session 1 (31/03): The first study skills session ran by Elevate Education titled ‘Study Sensei’ covers the following topics:
Session 2 (19/05): The second study skills session ran by Elevate Education titled ‘Time Management’ covers the following topics:
Session 3 (01/09): The third study skills session ran by Elevate Education titled ‘Ace Your Exams’ covers the following topics:
