Start only in January
- Borrow books from the school library and begin reading some of the content for the first topic
- If you know what texts you are studying for English, consider working smart and reading some novels in the holidays so when you re-read it, you can get a more in-depth understanding
- By getting ahead you will thank yourself when you are overladen with homework and assessments.
- Don't stress, you'll be doing a lot of that
However take in mind that these school holidays are your last chance at relaxing, stress-free for the next two years because you won't be getting a proper, fully relaxing holiday until after your HSC. All your easter breaks, semester breaks, october breaks will be spent doing school work, assessment tasks or studying for half-yearlies. The summer holidays at the end of year 11 will be spent doing major works, studying and you will get holiday homework. Teachers say that it isn't really a holiday but a study session. The summer before year 11 is the last time you can be guilt-free, care-free before life hits you. Cos after the HSC you'll be thinking about uni and getting a serious job and you'll have more life responsibilities. Although it is wise to get ahead, make sure you fully recharge because you won't be doing that anytime soon after.
