Each student will have an interview with either their Pastoral Support Teacher or a member of the Senior Leadership Team, to help them with their decision.
If students are unclear about what a particular course involves, then they are welcome to ask for advice from a teacher or principal teacher of that subject.
Scholar – an online resource developed by Heriot Watt university – have been updating and extending their courses to fit with the new National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher courses.
Scholar is an exciting resource that allows students to access free course materials for a variety of subjects. In addition Scholar have been running Live Homework Sessions, which have proved particularly popular.
Students will require their Scholar login details to access these resources; speak to either your class teacher about obtaining these or see Mr Boag in Maths.
We would encourage all of our students to be familiar with the day and time of your exams. If you would like extra advice on studying and dealing with exam stress then visit the SQA study guides website.
The link here will take you to the supported study timetable for National 5 pupils in S4 as they approach their prelims. The S4 prelims take place between the 30th of November and the 11th of December. The supported study timetable includes specific planned lessons on key aspects of the courses that will feature in the examinations. Please encourage your son / daughter to make a note of the sessions that are relevant and appropriate to their subjects.
As Head Teacher I know that the prelims are a busy and challenging time for the pupils. However, with hard work and the right preparation, (supported study will play an important role in this), we know that our young people will be rewarded with the success they deserve. Good luck and prepare well!
All S3 and S4 students have been given details of the upcoming Parents’ Information Evening, which will take place on Tuesday, 8th September from 6.30pm.
The evening is designed to help you support your son or daughter as they prepare for their SQA Examinations.
