Achieve Your B.E.S.T. is a program designed for senior school students to help them get off to a great start at the beginning of the year or to help them as they start to experience a dip in their motivation &/or ‘hit the wall’.
Around late Term 2 or Term 3, students can begin to feel tired, stressed & unmotivated because:
-
- it’s winter – cold & wet
- they may be going through the motions with their homework, study & assessments
- they may have performed badly in their assessments or practice exams (if they had any) & are disappointed with their results
- many are turning 18 & just want to get out of school, be independent & have fun
This combination of events can be a recipe for poor academic achievement, which in turn, reflects badly on the school.
By running programs designed to motivate them at the beginning of the year or build student resilience at the business end of year, you give your students every opportunity to succeed.
