Tips to the Students

• Always revise the work done in the class and get your difficulties solved.
• If memory work is assigned, learn it overnight and repeat it in the morning.
• At the end of the week, revise all that you learned during the week.
• Make a daily 'home time table' for yourself. In this way you will learn to be a student of regular habits, one of the most valuable assets in later life. Stick deliberately to sufficient study hours, every day minimum 4 hours. If for unavoidable reasons, they are not completed, supplement them as soon as possible.
• It is preferable to have a chair and desk intended for your studies, in the comparatively quite and well lighted room of your house.
• Realize the value of time. Do not wait till the exam approaches.

It is not advisable for the pupils to bring money or other valuable things to the school.
