We were delighted to welcome Megan from Elevate Education to St. Bede's Catholic College yesterday to work with our GCSE and A Level students in preparation for their forthcoming GCSE and A Level examinations. Megan offered wonderful advice and ways to time manage, set goals and increase motivation when revising.
Later that day, parents were invited to an evening seminar where Megan offered examples of ways to encourage, motivate and support children during the exam period. A very useful and informative evening, thank you to Megan and Elevate.
This is the first of a number of seminars which will be offered to our Year 11 and A Level students this academic year.
Wellness Evening for Parents
Many thanks to the very large number of parents/carers who attended the ‘Wellness Fortnight - Parent event‘ recently here at the college. We were delighted to welcome Emma Balfour Educational Psychologist and Stuart Melvin Primary Mental Health Specialist CAMHS, who presented a fascinating insight into some key issues for young people and the adults who care for them.
The presentation covered a range of topics including;
Physiological changes
The struggle for independence and identity
Setting limits and boundaries
Communication and listening
Peer influence
The evening was peppered with lively discussion between parents, sharing thoughts and experiences about ‘what is going on in the teenage brain’. A copy of the information as promised on the evening is available below: Understanding Adolescence.
