Mastering Study Skills: A Workshop for Success at SMK St. Mary
Learning and Engaging
On 19 February 2025, students from SMK St. Mary underwent a fun and engaging workshop on study skills and time management. A whopping 1,100 Form 1 to Form 5 students attended the session, aimed at equipping them with the proper strategies for improved academic performance alongside their self-discipline.
Organized from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM, the session was facilitated by a passionate set of trainers: Hayden, Anis, Pik Wah, Hadri, Sumita, and Crishnaveni, while Cikgu Amira facilitated communications with the school.
The day began with a welcome by Hayden to set the tone for an inspiring morning. Hadri then took the podium to give a short but inspiring speech on study skills, emphasizing the importance of being productive in studying and the use of systematic methods of learning. His talks provoked students to rethink the way they study, exposing them to ways of increasing productivity.
To make sure the students were refreshed and prepared to learn new things, Pik Wah, Crishnaveni, Sumita, and Anis organized a lively warm-up session. The students got up, stretched, and shook off the morning sleepiness, establishing a positive and energetic mood for the rest of the session.
A Key to Success with Time Management
Following the warm-up, Hayden returned to discuss one of the most crucial aspects of student life—time management. The session provided students with practical techniques to prioritize tasks, avoid procrastination, and manage their study schedules efficiently. By learning how to break down their workload into manageable parts, students gained valuable skills to navigate their academic journey with greater ease.
The trainers also introduced the students to the BAC Education Group, offering insights into further educational opportunities. This segment gave students a glimpse into their future paths, inspiring them to think beyond their current studies and plan for long-term success.
A Lasting Impact
By the end of the session, students walked away with more than just tips on studying—they gained a deeper understanding of personal responsibility, self-management, and accountability. The workshop emphasized that academic success isn’t just about intelligence but about developing the right habits and mindset to thrive.
The combination of expert guidance, interactive activities, and enthusiastic participation made the workshop an absolute success. With these newfound skills, the students of SMK St. Mary are now better prepared to take charge of their learning and build a strong foundation for their future.
