The school year is wrapping up and it\u2019s time for a well-deserved break after a year of hard study and some decision-making about the future. In few months your next important year of school starts, so here\u2019s how to walk in with your best foot forward!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look back on this year and think about what worked well \u2013 and maybe what didn\u2019t \u2013 and decide what changes you\u2019ll make to get ahead next year. What study methods worked for you? Do you need to improve your study schedule? And maybe there’s a subject you should spend a bit more time on from your first week back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hear from our current students on their study tips.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The holidays are not just a mental break from school but also a time to relax and have fun. Balance is key, so put aside some time to catch up with friends, exercise and unwind. Taking time for yourself is an essential part of recharging for next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the perfect time to get valuable skills for future careers. Casual work gives you the freedom to balance your other commitments and earn money before the new school year starts. Check out sites like Indeed<\/a> and Seek<\/a> for opportunities that suit you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Work experience<\/a> and volunteering<\/a> not only look great on the r\u00e9sum\u00e9, but they also are an opportunity to see how an industry operates and see they have careers that will suit you. Ask friends or family if they know someone you could shadow. Search online and also drop into local businesses to introduce yourself and see if anything’s available close to home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t already know what your passions are, spend some time these holidays finding out by exploring our study areas<\/a>. It’ll ignite your drive and motivate you to success to your full potential next year. It\u2019s always easier to do well in something you love and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a good time to look into the Curtin entry pathways on offer so that you know all your options. The grades you get in year 11 and 12 aren’t the be-all and end-all \u2013 if you don\u2019t get the results you’re striving for, remember that there are other pathways into uni! Check out our pathway finder<\/a> to find out what could work for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have an idea of the study area you’re interested in but want a more detailed look at what university life could be like, simply tell us a bit about yourself and we\u2019ll send you a personalised guide to Curtin<\/strong>.
