Study Skills is a new initiative in Scoil Dara set up to assist first year students with studying. It is run by teachers, free of charge, who will create a relaxed and informal atmosphere where students can explore new ways of studying. We will help students to identify their preferred method of study and introduce them to various study techniques (e.g. MindMaps, Flow Charts, Concise Note-taking, etc) which can be used in any subject.
The aim is that students will develop planning and organisational skills which will benefit them greatly not just in school, but also as adults. The emphasis is on removing the stress normally associated with study and creating happy, confident, independent learners who love learning!
The Study Skills group takes place every Tuesday, from 4pm – 5pm beginning Tuesday 19th January.
