  1. Manage your school diary. Go through your school diary or calendar on your device and write down any events that are scheduled for this year. When are the exams? When are the holidays? And then fill out your timetable.  
  2. Get your supplies. Make sure you know exactly what you need for each class and get it sorted.   
  3. Know your course syllabus and study design. If you are in WA then get to know the SCSA website. For VIC students, visit VCAA.. This will identify exactly what it is you need to know for each subject. It can be dry but it is worthwhile you persevere.
  4. Get involved and have fun. Your school community is awesome because more than likely there are other people sharing your passions. Learn an instrument, join a band, start a drama club or a book club, train with a sports team… It is fun to be involved, explore your interests and make new friends. 
  5. Work out what each teacher expects of you. Every teacher is different and whether you like it or not, if you can learn what it is that your teacher expects from you then you will make your life easier. Doing well in your final years requires a team effort so do the righty by your teacher then it you will feel more comfortable to seek help when you need it.
