One of the most important keys to SUCCESS is having the discipline to do what you know you should do, even when you don't feel like doing it - Unknown  

Following the successful set of workshops for Upper School students offered last academic year, Veema Education, a UK based educational consultancy firm (www.veema.co.uk), offered our Year 3 students, on Wednesday 23rd March,  a masterclass designed specifically for  them, entitled ‘Kick-Start Study Skills’.
