Maximizing Support for HSC students - Rowan Kunz
1 like267 views
This document discusses strategies for how libraries can better support HSC students. It notes that around 140,000 students experience high anxiety levels during their HSC year. Popular workshop topics at libraries include study skills, English areas of study, and maths. The document suggests that libraries could enhance support by offering subject-specific workshops focused on content and processes, as well as stress relief workshops. It also proposes hosting "mock exam" events and establishing dedicated HSC study zones during the holidays before exams to help students prepare and develop effective study routines in an exam-like environment.
