DURING QCS

QUEENSLAND CORE SKILLS SERIES | 2 of 3

Here are a few quick tips to help you through QCS

Just breatheThanks to an extra hit of oxygen, deep breaths can help reduce tension and relieve stress, so take a deep breath whenever you feel anxious.

ChillaxDo whatever helps you relax. Get your yoga on, go for a run, catch up on TV shows or listen to the latest beats on your iPad!

It’s finally time to put all your preparation and study to good use. Are you excited? We are!

Get chattyInstead of cramming during your lunch breaks, eat your lunch with your friends and talk about something other than the QCS. You’re in this together and having a laugh will help you relax for the next session.

Try to get to bed earlyBoost your memory and energy levels by having power naps and getting a good night’s sleep.

Snack packHealthy snacks, like fruit, vegetable sticks or nuts are an awesome between-session pick-me-up.

Get some fresh air!Clear your head, boost your energy and get outside. When you get home, go for a walk, to the beach or organise a picnic at the park with friends.
