Student Session: Study Hacks
Forget highlighting and rereading your notes and textbooks. These are old-fashioned and ineffective ways to learn.

Topics covered include:
- Dealing with distractions
- Defending your focus
- Making learning fun
- Combating boredom with Fun Theory
What’s included with an online live-streamed session:

- Follow-up activity (optional)
Duration: 45-50 minutes
Note from Dr Jane:
Due to the interactive nature of the session, students should watch the presentation on a large screen in a lecture theatre, auditorium, or classroom.
Laptops and phones should be out of sight.
Parent Session: Study Hacks
Want to know how you can support your children with their high school study? Confused about what makes ‘good’ revision habits? Unsure if your children are actually studying effectively?
In this online session, Dr Jane will explain how you can support your children to study more effectively.
Why online?
It’s not always easy to get to the school on a weeknight and also how nice it is to do something like this without leaving your PJs/cup of tea/couch!
What’s included with an online parent session:
- Zoom registration link for parents to sign up
- Email reminders to registrants sent the day before and an hour before the session begins (prompting parents to join the session)
- Summary sheet
- Links to additional resources
Duration: 1 hour
Note for Dr Jane:
In my experience, year 7 parents are keen to support their children to learn more effectively, but often they’re not sure what to do (they were never taught effective study strategies in school or university).
In this session, I share a range of effective learning strategies and ways parents can support and encourage their children to use the strategies at home.
Why bother running a parent evening session?
Because it makes a difference when parents are on the same page as their children regarding effective study strategies.
