17. Some basic rules for the lesson.

18.  It is time to grow up now.  Examine your attitudes to school and to teachers carefully. Do they need adjusting?  People who work hard do well.  Rules are a chore, but they are there for very good reasons – so follow them.

19.  The subjects you study should affect the way that you think about the world.  Subjects are known as disciplines because they discipline your mind to think along certain modes of thought.  Get into the hang of applying insights from lessons into your real life – and vice versa.

20.  You should work at your own success harder than your teacher does.  You will get out of a subject the amount of effort that you put into it.  The more time you spend on it, the more relaxed you will be and the more successful you will become.

21.  The person who benefits from your learning is you …  Don’t leave it to other people to organise your work for you.  Decide what it is you want to gain from the course and then organise yourself to achieve whatever is needed for personal success.

22.  Whatever is set in class is the basic minimum needed.  Do whatever it is you have been set without putting it off or making excuses.  Try and do a bit more as well so that you are learning for yourself and not just because your teacher told you to.

23.  You are learning the norms and values of literate and educated people. Behave like these people.  Buy books  Read books  Add notes to books.  Go to the LRC and photocopy books.  Think about the ideas in books.

24.  Make sure that you have been to the toilet, are not hungry, have had a drink and have slept enough.  Get your books and notes sorted the night before.  Bring a pen and paper to lessons.  Check where you are on the topic and refresh your memory of the previous lesson.  Turn your mobile off.

25.  You will forget most of what happens in lessons. This is natural and inevitable.  Revise from the beginning.  Set aside time for revising and reviewing.  Plan your time carefully so that you can do this as well as your set work.

26.  Buy folders and dividers of different colours.  Look at the schemes of work to see what topics are being covered.  Keep all notes and exercises together.  Use the subject specifications or your teacher’s scheme of work as a guide to what you should know.  Cross reference notes.

27.  Buy some index cards and index files from a stationer.  Develop a set of revision cards with a glossary of terms and another for lists of studies as you go along.  You will find these invaluable for revision and for organising yourself.

28.  The purpose of notes is so that you will read them and revise from them.  Make sure that they are neat and well ordered or you won’t have a clue what it was that you did in lessons.  Use colours, space them out and make sure that they are clear and easy to understand.

29.  If there is a problem, let your teacher know straight away.  Most problems can be solved very easily.  They usually arise from lack of confidence or very basic misunderstanding.  Be grown up – go and have a chat with someone and get the issue sorted.

30.  Poor attendance demotivates both you and your teachers.  It affects the learning of the whole class who will have to spend time recapping material that you missed.  You will lose the plot in lessons very quickly if you don’t attend.  Go to all of your lessons.  When you are in the lessons, stay on task and concentrate.

31.  You cannot and will not learn everything there is to know, so be selective in what you learn.  Spend as much time as possible with a study friend and share some of the tasks.  Spend time together discussing ideas and the content of lessons.  Share notes and essay planning sessions.

32.  Try and know what is going on in the world.  This is the purpose of PSE and General Studies lessons.  Read newspapers.  Watch the news.  Talk to people.  Listen and think about what it is you have learned.

33.  Build in some time for relaxation and fun.  Do sport, go out and do your job if you have one.  Get the fun thing into perspective – you have the rest of your life for fun so prioritise work.  Being a student at college should be when the real fun begins!

34.  Thanks you all and once again well done on your GCSE’s results and welcome to Haringey Sixth Form Centre  Have a fantastic AS Sociology year !
