Study Support at KGS
Immersion Timetable:
The immersion timetable provides details of the classes pupils can attend during study leave for help and advice as they prepare for exams. Pupils should just sign in before the sessions starts and sign out again once it finishes.
Study Planner:
The attached study planner is to help pupils organise their time. The study planner helps pupils to plan out their revision across study leave - giving them time to study for each exam properly.
N5 Study Support Guide:
This document gives pupils advice and tips on study techniques as well as subject specific details for all N5 courses.

Points for pupils to note:
- Log on to the OASIS choosing system promptly at 8.45am on Monday 22nd April in Registration.
- Pupils need to choose Activities for all 3 days (Tuesday 28th, Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th May).
- Don’t just choose the same activities for all 3 days – we want you to get some variety and choose different things. The exception to this is some activities are 3 day activities (e.g. sailing).
- If pupils have already signed up for an activity or trip then this will be pre-populated (e.g. trip to Codona’s) into OASIS, students should choose activities for remaining days. Do not cancel the preselected activities.
- Read the descriptions carefully and make sure you take note of any costs involved, requirements or any special equipment needed. Be sensible in your choices and don’t choose something you won’t be able to do.
- The OASIS system lets you book places, but it also allows you to cancel a choice, but be warned, if you press cancel your place will go and you may not get it back. Make sure of your choices before you log on and avoid cancelling choices where possible.
Health and Wellbeing Week - Activities
Activities sponsored by Cooke Aquaculture
On our return to school after Easter pupils will be asked to select Activities for the 3 Activities days on Tuesday 28th, Wednesday 29th, and Thursday 30th of May as a part of Health and Wellbeing Week.
The OASIS system we have created will help you make your choices and ensure all events are not oversubscribed, we will show you how it works on the first week after the holidays, and in the second week back we will be making our choices. It's a first come first served service so we will be asking all pupils to be aware of their KGS One credentials in advance of choices opening so they are successful in getting their first choice while it is available.
In the meantime and over the Easter holidays we want pupils to read up and consider the choices that are available to them. It would be good for all pupils to nominate a first, second and third choice for each day so that when we return you are ready to choose.
