PREP! – Things to Do List
I’ve included these 10 things because I really do think there are some simple ways you can really help yourself for the year ahead. These can be done a week before school starts! It’s just all about getting you ready for what’s coming and making the transition back to learning a little bit easier. By the way, I’ve written these in order of what could be easiest to start with – the last few are not all that necessary but may be useful if you’re keen!
- Prepare all your notebooks and stationary.
- Make a motivation board, and get inspired. (see http://tutorsfield.com.au/articles/2017/03/27/motivation-studying-year-12/)
