Veema-Masterclasses-Years 5,6 and 7

Dear Parents and Students of Years 5, 6 and 7
                              
We are inviting interest from any students in Years 5, 6 and 7 wishing to participate in a workshop designed to boost preparation for and performance in IGCSE and GCE A Level exams.

VEEMA Education, a UK based educational consultancy firm, is working with us to offer a Masterclass entitled ‘Revise to Maximise’.
 
What does this Masterclass involve?
 
This Masterclass is a good way to kick-start a student’s revision for the GCE examinations. It teaches useful memory skills and methods for processing information to make revision simpler and also helps students learn how the human mind works and how we process information. Students will be encouraged to set themselves realistic goals for studying for exams and to map out effective revision plans. The skills learned in this session are designed to improve exam performance, raise confidence levels and enable students to approach revision in a positive manner. Feedback from students who have taken up these workshops has been consistently positive. The timing is also beneficial as it is early enough in the year for students to organise their approaches to revision and individual schedules.
 
The workshops will take place in the School Hall on Monday 12^th February 2018. Times to be confirmed.
 
 
Objectives:

• To acquire important strategies and techniques for exam success

• To enable students to properly plan and personalise learning and revision

• To develop time management and organisational skills

• Improvements in memory and learning skills

• Greater self-confidence

• Learning about new cognitive skills for processing information more effectively
