Town High 5

Current research shows that many factors contribute to the success of students attending high school. Town High has identified 5 key areas that students need to address in order to get the most out of their education and achieve to their potential.

The 5 key areas

1. Rest. Teenagers need a lot of sleep and sometime have difficulty getting it. A well rested and alert student is most capable of meeting daily academic challenges.
2. Nutrition. Good food is vital fuel for the day. Eating the right food will ensure you have the energy needed to keep your brain working.
3. Emotional Support. The teenage years can be trying times and students need to have someone encouraging and supporting them on a daily basis. Parent/carer interest and involvement in academic work has been shown to greatly boost student results.
4. Attendance. Many factors affect a student’s ability to attend school, but missing school dramatically impacts on individual performance. Students and parents can develop strategies to ensure high attendance rates and maximise success.
5. Gear for the day. It is hard to do a good job without the right tools. Students need to attend with the gear they need to get the job done. This includes uniform, lunch, books, pens & pencils, software and their homework done.
