St Paul’s Collegiate School held a special assembly and lunch to honour the 2023 Scholarship Examination recipients. First-year Collegians returned to the Chapel to be acknowledged and joined current students to hear from Collegian Dylan Woodhouse (Hall 2014 – 2018). He compared dedication to studies to training for a sporting event, emphasizing the need for effort, planning, and endurance. He left the students with five tips for exam preparation:
- Leave for your exam early to allow extra time.
- Eat a big meal before the exam to avoid hunger.
- Exercise regularly during the study period.
- Create good study notes, including recording them to listen to.
- Utalise the best resources: your teachers and friends.
