Study Skills Workshop
Our 5th and 6th year students attended an in-school study skills workshop this week. The workshop was facilitated by Claire Cummins of Study Focus Ireland. The students got some great advice and tips on how to motivate themselves and how to improve their study skills. All students were provided with 2 booklets, a work booklet and resource booklet. It was a great success and our students are now equipped with the right tools and knowledge to further their learning journey. Thanks to Ms. Kinsella for organising.
