Think about it… How much do you rely on your mobile phone? How much do you use a desktop, laptop or tablet? Do you wear a smartwatch proudly on your wrist? Do you need to use these for work?…
At A Team Tuition, we envision a holistic method when it comes to student transformations. For boarding school students, this holistic approach is pertinent in order to provide tailored support to suit the needs of newly independent students. When we were approached by The Southport School (TSS) in 2017 about ways in which we can adopt our personalised service to assist a group of boys in boarding, we came to the realisation that there is an evident gap between boarding youth and the traditional structure of boarding learning.
For Year 12 students – the end of your high school experience is near. However, it’s important not to drop the ball just yet. With half of your senior year already gone, the final semester is still your canvas and now is the time to paint the picture of your future! Term 3 is undoubtedly one of the most stressful terms for Year 12 students. Your final OP predictions are released, university applications open and students are required to sit the Queensland Course Skills Test.
After almost a decade in the industry, we’ve been exposed to the faults that currently exist in the education system. Australia was ranked 39 out of 41 countries for achieving quality education in 2017 by the United Nation’s Children’s Fund (UNICEF) which analysed the performance of students in reading, maths and science. As a first-world nation that usually ranks within the highest percentile for child well-being indicators, the data may come as a shock to Australians. However, the data reveals stark findings about our education system that have seemingly been ignored over the last decade. From jam-packed classrooms with an average 1:30 ratio, an over-reliance on standardised testing and a one teaching method fits all approach, there’s no wonder that Australian students are lagging behind their international counterparts.
There are lots of students who I see on a weekly basis who are jam-packing their week with so many extracurricular activities that their studies are starting to suffer yet I also see others who thrive under pressure. I also regularly come across students who have minimal obligations and don’t even know where to start when it comes to planning their day to day commitments (aside from making sure they have time to check their snapchat streaks)!
