This Friday, April 20th is the last day of class for Grade 12 diploma programme students. Next week, Monday April 23 - 27 will be STUDY LEAVE. This week is a special time during which students can stay home and study, come to school to collaborate with friends, or get individualized attention and support from teachers. Teachers will be available in their classrooms for any student who would like help. Students are also welcome and invited to work in the Library, the Library Conference Room, the Diploma Programme Lounge, or any number of open classrooms. Our hope for the students is that they have an opportunity to engage in five important activities during Study Leave:
1. Sleep: Getting at least eight to nine hours of sleep each night during study leave will prepare their brains and bodies for the three weeks of upcoming exams. 2. Read, make notes, and review: Students should make meaning from their notes and coursework from the two years, including taking practice exams. 3. Engage in physical activity: Students should study for chunks of time and then get outside and move. Physical movement increases blood flow to the brain and support the retention of what they are studying. 4. Ask questions: Students could come to school with questions for their teachers, clarifications and details that might help them to understand 5. Relax: After almost two years of learning, students need time to rest and relax, knowing that a lot of information, concepts, and learning has already sunk in!
