Parent / Student Evenings
The success of this concept has been phenomenal. High school parents and students attend a 1.5 hour study skills evening where they learn new information and participate in guided discussions together.
By giving the same message to the students and the parents and having them resolve some of the issues that arise around studying, implementation of study skills is so much more successful. Parents really appreciate the opportunity to experience this session with their students.
Although the types of evenings are tailored to the school's requirements, the main evenings run are:
'Tools for Success' for Year 7
This evening focuses on managing assignments and learning to make study notes.
'Working Together for Success' for Years 7-10
This evening covers a wider range of study skills including study techniques and more time management issues.
'Maximising Your Results' for Years 10-12
This evening is for seniors and is often held in Term 4 for Year 10 and 11 or Term 1 for Year 11 and 12 to attend and looks at what is needed for success in senior studies.
Parent Only Presentations
If you are interested in a session for parents only, ELES and Human Connections are now available for a 2 hour joint presentation for parents (usually targeted at Years 10-12). The cost is the same as the 1.5 hour Parent/Student Evenings - $990 including GST. ELES presents for an hour on the study skills needed for success in senior studies and Human Connections then presents strategies for helping students develop and maintain the motivation needed as well as techniques for dealing with stress in the senior years.
Note: ELES is based in Sydney. Schools outside of the Sydney area may also need to arrange sessions at a time that is convenient to the school.
However, each year travel and accommodation costs are waived for selected areas and selected time periods. For 2008, if you book sessions in Melbourne during the following periods you will not need to pay travel or accommodation costs:
Victoria Mon 14th April to
Wed 16th April 2008
Additional travel/petrol costs may apply for schools outside of capital cities.
