2024 Study Marathon themed “Sisonke”

Hola from Thutong Junction!

We are thrilled to share the highlights of our 2023 Study Marathon themed “Sisonke,” meaning “We are together,” which took place during the June exam period. At Thutong Junction, we understand the pressure and stress that exams bring, and we are committed to supporting our students every step of the way.

What is the Study Marathon?

Our Study Marathon is an intensive study session designed to help students prepare for their exams. For the entire duration of the marathon, Thutong Junction transforms into a hub of focused energy and collective effort. Students come together to study, share resources, and motivate one another, all while enjoying the supportive environment we’ve cultivated.

Sisonke: We Are Together

The theme “Sisonke” was chosen to emphasize the sense of community and solidarity among our students. At Thutong Junction, we believe that success is best achieved when we support one another. Our Study Marathon was a testament to this belief, as students from various backgrounds came together, united by a common goal: to excel in their exams.

Highlights of the 2023 Study Marathon

1. Extended Study Hours: To accommodate the increased demand for study time, we extended our study area hours, allowing students to study late into the night. This provided a quiet, distraction-free environment where they could focus on their studies.

2. Expert-Led Study Sessions: We invited subject matter experts to lead study sessions and workshops, offering valuable insights and tips on how to tackle difficult topics. These sessions were immensely popular and provided students with the confidence they needed to succeed.

3. Peer Study Groups: Students formed peer study groups, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual support. These groups allowed students to share their strengths and help each other overcome challenging subjects.

4. Wellness and Relaxation: Understanding the importance of mental well-being, we also provided relaxation zones and wellness activities. These included yoga sessions, meditation classes, and access to our recreational facilities, ensuring that students could take necessary breaks and rejuvenate their minds.

5. Nutritious Snacks and Beverages: To keep energy levels high, we offered a range of nutritious snacks and beverages throughout the marathon. From fresh fruits to healthy granola bars and refreshing drinks, we made sure our students were well-nourished.

A Collective Effort

The success of the 2023 Study Marathon was truly a collective effort. The enthusiasm and dedication shown by our students were inspiring, and the support from our staff was unwavering. Together, we created an environment where everyone felt motivated and empowered to do their best.

Looking Forward

As we look forward to future study marathons, we are committed to continuing our tradition of support and solidarity. At Thutong Junction, “Sisonke” isn’t just a theme—it’s a way of life. We are proud of our students and excited to see them achieve their academic goals.
