Okay, we are here at that point of the year that seems SO far away in September.  After this break it will only be a short sprint to the Summer break. For Grade 10, & 12, MYP & DP finals are sitting on the other side of the Eid celebrations.

The best tip I can give – to students and my colleagues – is this … “Give your Brain a Break!”

Any brain scientist worth their salt will tell you that when your brain is resting, it is doing its best work. It is processing, sorting, organizing, consolidating … separating the wheat from the chaff. Just think of it as your pre-game mental prep!

As well as eating well, exercising, playing games, reducing screen time, meditation, pursuits of the soul, a crucial part of any good brain break is sleep … lots and lots and lots of sleep.

If not now, then when?
