A LITTLE REMINDER; Make Time For Yourself! ✨
Studying and working can get overwhelming fast, remember to eat regularly, drink lots of water and keep a regular sleep pattern.
Take breaks and let yourself do something fun! You’re human and need rest, but also let yourself get out there and be creative! Don’t feel like you have to work and study all day every day, let yourself relax and just be you. Catch up with friends or family with a phone call and schedule in some de-stress time.
Remember to do little self check-ins every so often, even when not studying. Does your back hurt? Have you eaten? Are you sad or stressed? Don’t put anything before your physical and mental health, you are your top priority! Let yourself breathe, and take utmost care.
Stay as healthy as you can and if you ever need someone to talk to, someone who’s not a friend or one of your Student Services members, we have a free counselling service, click here to find out more.

ACADEMIC UPDATES
Gentle Reminder For Students Who Are NYS for Term 1, 2 & 3!
For those of you who currently have outstanding NYS assessments from Terms 1, 2 and 3, please check that you have clicked on the tutorial booking link in the Course Progress Warning Letter, as this tutorial is mandatory.
You will be able to pay your resubmission fees, and book your attendance for the tutorial on November 20th, where you are able to discuss any queries with your trainer and resubmit your outstanding assessments by close of that day. You will be enrolled in a specific Canvas course in order to resubmit your assessments, which will be active on the tutorial day.
Please send proof of payment to your Campus’ email address once you have paid for your resubmission so we can allocate the payment to your account.
If you have any further questions, please contact your Student Services team and we will be happy to help where needed.
STUDENT OPERATIONS
CANVAS UPDATE!
Did you spot an error with your learning resources?
IT’S WEEK 6!
We’re well and truly underway with this term and assessment deadlines are fast approaching! Please remember to turn Canvas notifications on so that you won’t miss a thing when it comes to updates from your trainers!
If you are having any trouble with submitting your assessments or if you have any questions about how to use canvas or your Student Portal, please contact your Trainer or Student Services and we will be happy to help where we can.
Language, Literature and Numeracy Class Update!
LLN Classes will soon have all new resources free for student use, to provide you all with the means to help improve communication and academic skills in your own time on your own terms. There will be links to a number of FREE TO USE third party sites and short videos on specific skills to help you develop more in specific areas. The goal of putting this together, is for students to be able to access these resources at any time and to pick and choose which area you may need the help in, it’s all up to you!
No stress of having to attend more classes, or having to submit anything by a certain time, this is all up to how you wish to study so you can feel free to go at your own pace!

On the week of Halloween we ran a Jellybean guessing competition in each of our campuses. We had 4 lucky winners who got to take home their yummy jar of jellybeans. Thank you to all of our students who got involved this Halloween and keep your eyes peeled for our next competition!
