Supervised Study
At St. Brendan's Community College, we strongly recommend Supervised Study especially for Third and Sixth years. It is very important for students to develop the habit of studying if they are to reach their full potential.
Supervised Study provides a valuable opportunity, under the supervision of our teachers, for students to discipline themselves and to concentrate on homework and revision in a quiet, warm and friendly atmosphere.
There are significant advantages to participating in the Supervised Study programme including the following:
-
Pupils who complete their homework regularly and thoroughly obtain higher grades in examinations
-
The regular completion of homework and study during the year leads to less stress prior to examinations and less confrontation between pupils and teachers over incomplete or late work
In addition, the Supervised Study programme offers the following benefits:
-
Study is carried out under strict conditions - pupils work individually and in silence
-
Good study habits are established and maintained from the outset
-
Homework is completed by 6.30 pm in most cases
-
The evening is free for other activities and parents do not have to worry about supervising homework
-
There is an opportunity for additional study if homework is completed in less than two hours
We also offer a Homework Club (free of charge) to all our First Year students from 4pm - 5pm. Students can complete homework, devise study notes, research projects and avail of assistance from the teacher if needed.
