Access these very helpful tips for getting the best possible start to your 2026!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The start of the new school year is the perfect time to build good habits that promote your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. By focusing on taking good care of your body, mind, time and connections, you'll be ready to beat back-to-school stress and kick some goals.

Here are some practical tips and strategies for starting the year off strong and making it your best one yet!

1. Take care of your body

Making your physical health a priority is a game changer when you're trying to get back into school mode after the break. Whether it's catching up on sleep, eating well or staying active, even a small change can make a big impact. Here are some simple things you can do:

Stretch it out: When you get a chance during the day, do a bit of stretching or light movement. Even if you're pressed for time, take a minute to stretch out your neck, back and arms after sitting still for a long time. This can help to reduce aches and pains, boost your energy and give you a mental break, helping you to feel more focused and refreshed.

Get outside: Try to spend at least 10-15 minutes outside each day, even if it's just to walk to school or to grab a snack during lunch break. Fresh air and natural light can instantly lift your mood and sharpen your focus.

Drink plenty of water: Staying hydrated is key for feeling good physically and staying sharp mentally. Try keeping a water bottle with you at school, or set reminders on your phone to remind you to head to the bubbler.

2. Take care of your mind

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Prioritising your mental wellbeing - managing stress, showing yourself some love, and staying in touch with how you're feeling - can help keep you grounded and positive. Here are a few tips for nurturing your mind:

Breathe, relax and reflect: Take a few moments each day for some deep breathing or mindfulness techniques, which can help you to concentrate, reduce stress and build resilience. If you're feeling stressed, try breathing in for 4 counts, holding for 4 and exhaling for 4.

Check in with yourself: Take a moment every now and then to reflect on how you're feeling about being back at school. Whether you're excited, stressed, or a mix of both, being aware of your emotions will help you to figure out what you need in order to take care of yourself.

3. Take care of your time

Managing your time is all about staying organised and finding a good balance between the things you have to do and those things you want to do. When you plan ahead and focus on what matters most, you'll feel more in control and less stressed. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your time:

Find out your best study methods: Everyone learns differently. Some people love using flashcards, while others prefer summarising notes or reading them aloud. Test out different methods to find what helps you learn. Check out some top study hacks from other students.

Keep your study space clear and free of distractions: A clutter-free study space helps you to stay focused and get more done. Try to keep only what you need for your current task on your desk, and clear away things like your phone or video games. If you can, create a designated study space at home that's free from other distractions.

4. Take care of your connections

Strong relationships with friends, family, teachers and your community can make all the difference when it comes to feeling supported. Here's how you can stay connected to the people around you:

Catch up with friends before school starts: Reconnecting before the year kicks off by texting or making time to hang out can boost your social life and help you to feel more grounded.

Reach out first: Don't wait for others to make the first move. Sending a text, inviting someone to hang out, or just saying 'hi' are simple ways to keep your connections strong.

Ask people how they're doing: Showing genuine interest in how your mates are going will help to strengthen your relationships and make your friends feel valued.

Host a study group: Meet up with your friends to quiz each other, share notes, and motivate each other to stay on track.

What if nothing seems to help?

Starting the school year can be tough, and it's okay if things aren't falling into place right away. If you're feeling overwhelmed, take a step back and give yourself a break. Sometimes, going for a walk or doing some deep breathing is all it takes to reset.

If you've tried everything and still feel stuck, it might help to chat with someone about how you're feeling. Reach out to a trusted friend or family member, or join a free, text-based chat with a peer worker using ReachOut PeerChat. Speaking with someone who's been in your shoes can give you some great insights. You can also seek help from a mental health professional like a therapist or school counsellor to figure out some ways to manage stress and stay on track. Remember, it's okay to ask for help - you don't have to do it alone.

What are the benefits of studying university subjects in Year 12 through the Head Start Program?

Studying university subjects in Year 12 through the Head Start program offers several benefits, including:

Early exposure to university education: Participating in the Head Start program provides you with an early taste of university life. This experience can be invaluable in helping you adjust to the study and learning style of higher education.

Academic advancement: By studying university subjects in Year 12, you can challenge yourself academically and explore subjects that may not be available in a regular high school curriculum.

Credit towards future degrees: One of the significant benefits of the Head Start program is that the subjects completed can count as credits towards a related degree at UniSQ. This means students can potentially reduce the time and cost required to complete a university degree. Prepare for your future degree and match a Head Start course with a UniSQ degree.

Enhanced university application: Participation in a program like Head Start can enhance your university application. It demonstrates initiative, the ability to handle advanced coursework, and a commitment to learning, which are all positive skills to enhance.

Development of key skills: The Head Start program helps in developing essential skills such as time management, critical thinking, and independent study.

QCE points: For students in Queensland, successfully completing subjects in the Head Start program contributes points towards their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).

Networking opportunities: Being part of the Head Start program allows you to connect with university staff, fellow students, and industry professionals.

Griffith is offering guaranteed ATAR/Rank entry thresholds across most programs in 2024. This means we guarantee to offer you a place in your program if you achieve the ATAR/Rank that is published*.

Look out for our guaranteed admission badge below on our degree finder to find out if your preferred degree is included in one or more of these schemes, or refer to the eligible degrees table below.

For these pathways, you must still meet any subject prerequisites and any other additional admission requirements. You do not need to apply separately, as this is applied automatically to your eligible QTAC or preferences, up to the QTAC and UAC rounds in mid-January, or until the program is closed for any given intake.

Exam time = stress time. Whether you're at school battling your HSC, VCE, QCS, NTCE, SACE, WACE or TCE (phew!), or you're at TAFE or university, exam stress or general Year 12 stress can be really tough.

Some signs of stress include feeling moody or overwhelmed, difficulties with decision making, a lack of motivation, muscle tension, headaches, and fidgeting. People experience exam stress for a variety of reasons, from worrying they might fail or wanting to do really well, to dealing with pressure from family members or teachers or struggling to understand the things they're studying. Everyone experiences stress differently, and everyone has different reasons for being stressed in the lead up to exams.

We've done the homework on HSC stress and we've got everything from in-depth help on coping with anxiety, to tips on how to make stress work for you (yes, this is a thing), to how to study effectively with the most genius tricks and hacks, some of which will definitely brighten your day.

Whether you've already sussed out a study timetable or you're all a bit last-minute, here's how to feel better and study smarter at exam time.
