How 2 HSC
Australian teenagers are constantly exposed to information across multiple devices on multiple platforms, for extended periods of the day-whether @home, @school or out and about with friends and family.
Consequently, OVERWHELM IS REAL for the magical brains that are being bombarded by algorithms from the moment it awakes them each day.
Daily use of technology by Australian children is not as informed or appropriate as what the vernacular around digital norms tends to preach.
In 2024, % of Australians own a mobile, % own a computer or notebook and % of children aged 9-18 use at least 3 devices daily for a minimum % hours a day.
When we deep dive into the usage stats for the +9's on social media and gaming platforms the numbers (and associated health risks) grow exponetially.
For instance: as a direct result of prolonged exposure to blue light (mobile screens) with over % of Australian children on devices for approximately % hours a dayscrolling practices eye health is in decline, anxiety and depressive disorders are increasing in the population.
Coupled with the often-times largely unregulated and violent nature of content being consumed by Australian children, device use practices @home and @school aren't as refined as they need to be.
Namely, children are not developing critical thinking skills commensurate with independent thinking, but rather accepting the first three - five 'results' the algorithm serves them post Google search/enquiry.
In order to avoid adding extra and unnecessary 'load' onto already vulnerable and habit intensive minds, our 12 week program helps students navigate from the habit of FOMO to artful engagement with technology so that their daily practices and use of devices engage their engagement with themselves and the greater physical and digital worlds that surround them.
If learning @school is tricky (class moves too slowly / or too quickly), students can tune out, miss the basics and start to feel like they're forever playing catch up.
Then if they're an elite athlete in their HSC year, developing mental fitness muscles for performance extends from @school to @play as well, taking self-care, mindfulness and strategic management of time, space, study, diet, training and recovery to another level - beyond the stratosphere of the educational system.
At DMA Mentoring we help students and their families navigate the divide between what schools were designed to do and How 2 Learn How 2 Learn to Succeed for YOU @home, @school @Uni, @work and @Play.
We work with Year 11 and Year 12 students
Elite @school athletes sitting their HSC love us, because we keep things simple and create space for them in their daily routine: TO BE (Mindfulness), TO SEE (Strategy/ Planning) and TO DO in order to ACHIEVE both @School and @Play.
We design a personalised Student's learning journeys and draw on multiple experts in education and elite performance sports, to coach them to 'success' via our dedicated digital platforms (website and App).
Other Educators love us because we support THEM and their @school efforts. We also create content students at all levels in the pecking order find accessible
We understand the ways that best suits learners and How 2 extend their knowledge acquisition processes.
What we do complements what students are introduced to @school in their classrooms.
At a time when schools in NSW are struggling to find teachers (87% of schools don't have enough teachers), quality and consistency of learning and student engagement waxes and wanes accordingly and relational aggressive behaviours within school communities is forcing students to withdraw from developing a love of themselves, learning and each other.
Hence our focus on #MentalFitness for #AcademicPerformance.
Please note, our programs run in sync with the NSW Schools Calendar.
How 2 HSC plugs the gaps in knowledge and process.
We also help Parents/ Carers develop and refine the tools needed to help their Year 12 HSC student develop their Mental Fitness for Academic Performance for their first big academic exam - the Higher School Certificate - with their own User ID.
