Parents/carers are welcome to come along to this information session to gain valuable knowledge about the many literacy programs on offer at Irrawang High School.
The Literacy Sprint Session that students are participating in this term, will be explained - so a great opportunity to find out about what the students are learning. This program complements all the learning in our English classes as well as the wide range of literacy intervention already offered by our team of specialist Learning and Support Staff.
Learning and Support teachers will be available to discuss our literacy intervention programs at IHS- Lexia, QuickSmart and Exam Disability Provisions.
Any parent that has learning concerns about their child or wants to find out more about the programs available in our school, please pop in and see our specialist Learning and Support team at this time.
Elevate – Study Skills Program – Years 7-12 – 6.30pm-7.30pm
The schools that see the greatest behavioral change from their students are those that bring the parent community into the conversation. This seminar provides parents/carers with strategies to get on the same page as their children so that the skills taught in class are reinforced at home.
Topics covered:
• Time Management: How parents can help their child manage their time effectively, so they can maintain a balanced routine, not leave tasks to the last minute, and avoid distractions.
• Study Support: What kind of work is most valuable in helping to achieve higher marks? Presenters will discuss what good study looks like so parents can help their children work smarter.
• Motivation: Sometimes, the most difficult part of studying in high school is simply being motivated enough to do the work. This seminar will help parents understand the key drivers behind student motivation, and how to leverage these to help their child reach their potential.
• Free E-Book for Parent Support: Parents will be provided with access to the Elevate Parent E-book to follow up and extend on the best ways to support their child through high school.
