“I think you have the mixture right. The young, well trained presenter, was the key to the whole thing. The way she can connect to the students ensures that the message gets across to all levels. Young presenter and short session is the perfect mix for students of this age”
Bespoke programs for your school
The old study skills day is dead! Elevate runs short-sharp workshops spaced strategically across the year. Each session is tailored to the needs of your students, ensuring that it is highly relevant to your school. By spacing sessions across the year, schools ensure that students are introduced to skills at the time when they are most likely to use them.

Young presenters students can relate to
Avoid your study skills programs becoming a bore! Elevate uses young presenters who have recently faced and aced high school. Through speaking the students’ language they bring a level of engagement to what can be a dry topic, and by drawing on their own personal stories and experiences, they give the skills an unmatchable immediacy.

Post Seminar Resources
Most study skills workshops are like a sugar hit: great in the short-term but with no lasting impact. The reality is that study skills, like any other life skill, are built through repetition and review. So Elevate provides schools and subject teachers with a range of resources and guidance to integrate the skills into the classroom, ensuring that students are still benefiting from the workshops months later.

What people are saying
‘We really enjoyed the Grade 12 Finishing Line today - the topics discussed were very relevant to our students right now especially the wellbeing and general holistic tips that the presenters provided. The presenters did a fantastic job and gave the students simple tips for keeping on track for study and real life situations that the students can relate to.’

What people are saying
“Adam’s presentation to senior school staff was most impressive. He was clear, engaging, energetic and spoke with conviction. He readily answered questions with sound responses and managed to win over the majority of staff... teachers had been prompted to reflect on current practice and also identify specific aspects of the Elevate message we can incorporate more deliberately in our classes.”
