Term 3 includes the first opportunity for our Year 12 and Year 13 students to synthesize their knowledge of their external topics with our Entrance Exams. As the NCEA exams approach, here is a link to School TV’s special report on healthy study habits. The report highlights how healthy study habits are essential for students to learn effectively, manage stress, and achieve their academic potential. It is appropriate for all year levels. The report reinforces that balance is important in a student’s approach to study. Dr Emma Woodward talks about maintaining a healthy lifestyle including key elements such as adequate sleep, a healthy diet (including the importance of eating breakfast before school in improving brain function, memory, and attention), and engaging in physical activity to support academic success. School TV is a great tool for parents to support their children in various ways. Rangitoto College purchases an annual subscription to School TV to support our parent/caregiver community.
