SYDNEY HOMEWORK COLLECTIVE GROUP

The Homework Collective is an initiative to get homework out of the nag and drag and into a positive and productive space!

We use homework as a tool to teach:
  • how to prioritise tasks
  • learn to problem solve so they learn how to tackle tasks (not give up!)
  • demonstrate how to understand questions and break them down (math included!)
  • work on brainstorming, mind maps, scaffolds and chunking tasks
  • teach deadlines, time management and planning alongside school tasks
  • model diary use, reminders and structure for homework
  • make it fun and easy to work alongside us and other kids

We have designed this with your child in mind. To bring back skills that help homework BUT more than that our philosophy is to teach them to have a growth mindset so that they may gain  life skills at the same time that will mean more than homework.

Destress

Yoga for Teens

The ideal Yoga class for stressed-out High School aged students in Lane Cove.

The physical aspects of Teens Yoga will stretch, strengthen and tone your body – which complements the sport you play by increasing focus and preventing injury AND is ideal for desk-sitters and slouchers.

Aside from the physical benefits, teenagers learn skills for coping with the unique issues they’re faced with every day: exams & expectations, stressful schedules & situations, friendships and relationships, and the enormous pressure to fit in.

We provide a safe, fun space where they don’t need to overachieve – and offer tools to deal with pressure, stress and anxiety AND develop focus and confidence. They’ll truly relax with a combination of movement, breathing and gentle meditation techniques.

Cost: $90
Dates: Sundays Sunday, 25 August 2019 to Sunday, 22 September 2019
