St. Paul’s is aware of the importance of building and maintaining good study habits and recognises that students have their individual study styles and strategies. Through its pastorial system, the College encourages students to seek advice on how best to achieve their desired goals.
The supervised study programme also gives students the opportunity to practise the organisational and time-management skills and effective learning strategies that are taught as part of the daily curriculum.
Learning is also provided through our e-learning portal and in addition it gives a means of contact to their teachers.
