On Thursday 25th April our Coffee Morning session looked at Stress Management. The workshop was ably led by Jaime Wilde and Simone Courso, taking a packed house through problem resolution, time management and relaxation techniques. The slides are available here (keynote 23MB) (pdf) and the spoken work relaxation soundtrack is available on Itunes.

On Tuesday the 19th March 2013 we were visited by IDP – a part governmental organisation that supports students applying to all Australian Universities. Although the Guidance Team generally advise against using any agent when considering applying to universities we recognize that IDP represents all universities in Australia and thus may be a useful source of unbiased information.
