Prue’s workshop was met with overwhelming support as staff recognised her phenomenal depth of knowledge about study habits and appreciated her masterful and engaging presentation style. This professional learning experience has been a key component in launching our College wide study habits programme and we can’t thank Prue enough for her support.

A true learning experience. The seminar provided by ELES was probably the best investment in Professional Development that our school has ever undertaken. Presented by an experienced teacher for teachers, the program recognized the importance of addressing students’ individual needs and engaging them as independent learners.
