ORGANISATION

Organisation is one of the Four Foundations in the program ' You Can Do It!'

Organisation means setting a goal to do your best in your school work, planning your time so that you are not rushed, having all your supplies ready, and keeping track of your assignments' due dates. Examples of organised behaviour include making sure you understand the teachers instructions before you begin your work, having all your supplies ready at a neat desk, recording your assignments and their due dates, and planning when you're going to do your homework so that you have enough time. Positive HOMs that help develop student  Organisation include:

  • Setting Goals - thinking that setting a goal can help me be more successful at a task.
  • Planning My Time - thinking about how long it will take me to do my homework and planning enough time to get it done.

Resources we have in The Western Cape College Resource Centre include reference details. Other resources related to Organisation are included and may be accessed through The Hibberd Library, AccessEd, bookshops, etc.
