This will be a great event for Educators, parents and students, who can all take home key takeaways to help the students heading into their final exams.If the last 3 years have shown us anything, it is that we all need to be able to adapt, and quickly. With a disrupted school over the last few years, stress levels are at an all-time high going into final exams. It is important the students are equipped with strategies to manage their time and stress on exam day to give them the best chance at achieving their academic goals.True Coaching aims to support families through exams and help high school students develop life-long skills and strategies they are not getting from the traditional schooling system Bio Dianna Daou: Dianna is an academic performance coach of nearly a decade specialising in working with year 10-12 students to achieve their academic goals. Through her time as a student studying Biochemistry and a Master's in Education as well as 6 years working in workplace training and development, Dianna noticed a set of fundamental skills that are not being taught at school or university. These missing skills are affecting student's ability to organise their time, process information and create habits that help them achieve their goals. Because of this, Dianna has made it her personal mission to help students develop these skills and strategies they are not getting from the traditional schooling system and over the 9 years has helped thousands of students maximise results and minimise stress. ~About the VPC~ * Building Informed Confident Parents * Celebrating More Than 60 Years Of Service Established in 1959, VPC was originally known as the Parents and Friends Federation of Victoria.
