Ex-Don Students Share The Wisdom

In the lead-up to the mid-year exam period, several ex-Don students were invited into Bron Sidebottom's current Legal Studies 3 and Studies of Religion classes to share their wisdom on how they achieved highly while they were at Don.

On the first visit, three students who achieved an Exceptional Achievement in either Legal Studies 3 and/or Studies of Religion, Zoe Chipman, Jessie Gibson and Tia Brown spoke about study techniques that worked for them. Zoe is now in her first year of Law and International Relations at Deakin University, Jessie is in first year Economics at UTAS and Tia is studying Occupational Therapy at Southern Cross University in Queensland.

On the second visit, Sam Watchman, Zara Maddigan and Mason Wright shared their tips on effective study and the expectations of university study. Sam is in second year of his Bachelor of Justice Studies at UTAS, Zara is in second year Law and International Relations at the ANU and Mason is in third year Arts/Law at UTAS. Shayla Newall who is doing a Psychology Honours degree at Griffith University sent a video message as she could not be in Tasmania at this time.

The current classes learnt much about study techniques and the transition to tertiary study from all seven ex- students and we thank them for taking the time and trouble to speak with current students.
