It also needs positive reinforcement by you during the course. The best way to achieve this is by your attendance at the EQ4FAMILIES workshop. This workshop is run over 2 evenings and gives you many practical strategies for nurturing harmony and emotional intelligence in the home. The next course will be run over 2 evenings (4 hours in all) 7 to 9pm on Thursdays the 7th and 14th of August 2008. To download more information about the EQ4FAMILIES workshop <click here>

Calm And Learn More
The CALM program will help your child:
be able to calm and soothe themselves when upset
find the peaceful stillness deep inside themselves
use their imagination to visualise peaceful and happy situations
deal with strong feelings such as anger
learn how to use exercises, journaling, and art to express strong feelings and stay “in touch” with themselves.
CALM children really DO learn more! They are free to be able to concentrate and give their attention 100% to their studies.
Many children are bewildered by the noise, frenetic activity and pace of modern life. The CALM course will help them feel secure, calm and happy.
This course is suitable for all children between 6 and 12. Each child must complete 10 sessions (1 hour each time) and many children will want to complete a second cycle.
When: Thursdays 3:45-4:45, or 4:45-5:45
This course will be run in "Intensive Mode" over 10 days in the January 2008 holiday and then during each term of 2008. Investment: $350 includes a parent workshop to explain the techniques so you can follow them up at home.
TELL YOUR TEACHER! Training for this course will commence in Term 1, 2008. We hope ALL schools will integrate these techniques into their curriculum. Our children deserve a calmer, more peaceful world and the CALM course will give them the tools to create this.

Educational Assessments for Children
Educational assessments are recommended for children with learning difficulties, or for children who need to have their educational levels and strengths and weaknesses determined in order for effective teaching programmes to be drawn up.
The Assessment process involves the child working alone with the assessor for a period of time which is followed immediately by a meeting between the assessor and the parents. At this meeting further information is gathered from the parents and the learning plan is created. We have two levels of Assessment. The Full Assessment is more in depth and has a detailed written report, while the shorter Assessment is given to the parents verbally in the meeting following the assessment.

Accelerated Learning and Study Skills Course
STUDY SKILLS ENSURE SUCCESS! We are seeing an alarmingly high number of students who lack any knowledge of STUDY SKILLS.
They are unable to determine main ideas, summarise or write coherent essays. Poor time management and inability to organise themselves are also factors that contribute to low marks and poor self esteem. Unfortunately these students are set to fail their exams even when they work hard and have some real ability in their subject areas.
High School students need to sharpen up their study techniques as soon as possible if they are to pass exams and achieve high marks.
These skills must be TAUGHT - students will not just acquire them without explicit teaching. We teach these skills to students at all our centres. The students are taught the latest brain compatible techniques for accelerated learning and our methods motivate the students and promote focus and organisation.
OUR STUDY SKILLS COURSE EMPOWERS STUDENTS TO SUCCEED!
IT IS NOT YOUR APTITUDE BUT YOUR ATTITUDE THAT DETERMINES HOW HIGH YOU FLY.
Students will learn how to:
- Comprehend exam questions and plan effective answers
- Manage their time effectively
- Extract important information from text
- Increase their reading speed
- Use our techniques to improve memory/concentration and comprehension skills
- Above all it will MOTIVATE them to succeed at school!
