A different kind of study club for senior secondary students.

Success at school isn't just about intelligence or working harder, it's about understanding the unwritten rules of the curriculum, developing effective strategies, and knowing how to make your strengths work for you.

Level Up combines supported study time with explicit coaching that helps students understand how school works— particularly those who think and learn differently.

Students will:

• Learn the unwritten rules and expectations of the curriculum.

• Develop practical study and organisational strategies

• Share ideas and connect with like-minded peers.

Designed for:

• Senior secondary students, particularly those who are neurodivergent or who would benefit from more explicit guidance in navigating the demands of high school
