Neural pathways and growth mindset were on the timetable this week when Year 8 and Year 10 students came to Wellington College for two Skills Days.
The events were open to all members of the Wellington College Student Alliance, and 170 students came from schools including Edgbarrow, Robert May’s, Garth Hill and Blessed Hugh Faringdon.
The Year 8 event on October 20 comprised four one-hour workshops: Memory Matters – using the power of creativity and imagination to make learning easier; Be Awesome, Be You – improving confidence and self-esteem through self-reflection and looking at values and what success means; Goal Setting – aspirations for the future and SMART goals; and Pathfinder – understanding and condensing text and association maps.
At the Year 10 workshop on October 22, students also took part in four workshops, including Plan, Review, Succeed, Becoming Better and Pathfinder. Revision techniques included mnemonics, loci and mind maps.
