Tips
- Leave your phone in a separate room, turned off. It may seem obvious but your phone provides the perfect distraction
- Split your time up, for example study for an hour and have a fifteen minute break or half an hour with a 10 minute break
- Stay hydrated, another obvious one but to make sure your revision or homework is staying in your head keeping hydrated is crucial.
- Before starting your day signal out a specific time period for studying so you don't procrastinate and tell yourself something else is more important
- If keeping your phone in a separate room is not going to work download an app which sets a time for how long you work for and makes you unable to leave the app until it finishes.
- Start revising early!

A Feminine View of School
'I think that one thing this school lacks is a lesson which we girls could really enjoy. My example of this is a cosmetic class. Well, why not? I'm sure some of my companions could do with a lesson on make-up. For instance, I have a friend, who heaps on black mascara, followed by eyeliner, and to top it all, she piles on dark grey eye-shadow, white liquid make-up, and atrocious shocking-pink lipstick. and of course, all she looks is a proper idiot, so I don't think it would do her very much harm to have an expert teach her the correct quantities to put on and what goes with that. Secretly, though I don't like admitting it, I don't know the correct way to put on make-up and would like to know from an expert. After all, one lesson in cosmetics is just as useful to me as a dozen lessons in History. I'm sure many other girls have the same view as me, so i ask you, why not?'- M.C., IIC
Rhiannon's Success at Taste North
Rhiannon Mackay, S2, has recently won the Developing the Young Workforce North Highland (DYW) sponsored Youth Award in the Taste North Challenge at this year’s Taste North festival.
Organised by Venture North and hosted at Ackergill Tower, Taste North aims to showcase and celebrate the range of fantastic food and drink on offer in the North Highlands. Running since 2015, the Taste North Challenge aims to inspire local students to come up with new recipe ideas reflecting the abundance of incredible ingredients available in the area. Rhiannon competed and succeeded in the Youth category, and was rewarded for her efforts with a trip to the Nick Nairn Cookery School and a selection of cookery equipment.

We were thoroughly impressed by all the entries, but Rhiannon stood out amongst a strong field”.
