Wholesome Half Hour

You're definitely not alone if you feel too afraid to ask questions in class – so this week we have a chat about how and why you should push past that fear.  We also have yarns about the climate march and some other really not that related stuff – it's that time of the year, give us a break.

We ran a poll and asked you guys if you thought you were going too hard with school, or not hard enough, and the results were pretty much split right down the middle.

On this weeks episode we go over how to work out if you're going hard enough at school (or too hard, or not hard enough). We also take a look at how to balance life, school and a part time job if you have one!

This is a real fire episode and I know we enjoyed recording it, so we really hope you enjoy it too and get some value out of it!  Let us know your thoughts in the comments :)

School can feel like a nightmare when day after day we're hit with more and more deadlines, for more and more assignments from a bunch of different classes – and once you throw extra-curriculars into the mix, things can start to feel pretty stressful and overwhelming, pretty quickly.

On today's episode we break down some strategies on how you can make sure you meet all your deadlines, without constantly feeling stressed out.

We asked you how you felt your 2019 was going so far, and offer our thoughts on what you can do to feel more accomplished this year.

We take a look at some of your NCEA horror stories, and boy is it a wild ride.  Sketchy marking, teachers, NZQA muck ups – everything you could possibly imagine!

Have you got your own NCEA horror story?  Let us know in the comments and we may do a round 2 :)

It's around this time of year that many of us set goals for what we want to achieve this year – but on this weeks episode, we break down why goal setting isn't all it's made out to be, and why forming new habits can be a much more effective tool.

The Wholesome Half Hour is back for 2019 and we're glad to have you on board!  If you've got any ideas on what we can do to make the show better this year in terms of topics, guests you'd like to see, or anything else, please let us know!

This week we're answering heaps of questions about getting back to school, and how to tackle the challenges of yet another year of NCEA.

On our last episode for the year we answer a tonne of questions about making decisions in relation to your future, how to move on from exams, plan for another year of high school, transition to university and start thinking about careers and how to approach life in general.

Thanks so much for your support and watching or listening throughout the year.  It means the world to us and we hope you have an amazing summer break!

The exam season is coming to a close but for those of you who still have one or two to smash out, we've got some motivation to get you through!  Also advice for those who had exams that didn't go so well.

Next week (or the week after) we'll be talking about holidays, careers, university and the future – so if you've got any questions about that, be sure to let us know in the comments :)

It's the heat of the exam season so this week we talk all things exams including routines and the best ways to study.  We also answer all your questions and breakdown how to get yourself to an achieved mark in any exam in less than 24 hours.
