Get ahead with College Calendars

St Patrick's College has deployed a fantastic new school information system (Sentral) which has allowed us to implement an improved College calendaring system. The College calendars are available on the College website and we have included the direct links for you below.

How to use the  calendars

Use the calendars to teach your daughter about time management. Teenage girls have a hectic schedule that includes sporting, family, schooling and leisure activities. To maximise her chances for success in her academic life, it is important that she consciously thinks about balance. A simple strategy for teaching time management is to begin by providing your daughter with a term calendar. Here are some strategies:

1. In her school diary towards the back (page 184) there is a Forward Planner. She can colour code these with the weeks of each term. Then together, check the College calendar and enter all of her assessment tasks and any other significant events she may be involved in.

2. Use a grid like this. Print it on A3 paper (they are available in the library) and display it in a place that the whole family can see it. Once again, use the College calendars to fill in the significant events. Include other events such as family or sporting commitments.

When the whole family is aware of the busy times in the term, everyone can work together to support your daughter with her time management.
