Exams

Until a machine is developed to scan our brains and read all the information we retain, exams are a necessary evil!  As our Year 12 young people start their final exams (ATAR runs from November 1 to November 19) and many others prepare for end of year exams, things can get stressful in the home environment as children begin to get anxious, doubt themselves or fear they haven’t done enough.  These exam stress tips are from our website and are to help you and your child get through this time.  Remember to be kind to yourself, keep things in perspective and remind your child that they are not their exam result. There are many pathways that our children can take once they finish school and a blip at exam time will soon be forgotten as they move forward.

Another great resource is Headspace - the national youth mental health foundation funded by the Australian Government.  Please find here a link to anther article that may find useful in managing the stress in your household.
