With the beginning of a new school year, parents are looking for ways to help their teenagers manage their workload and study. To help get you started, we've created a list of 10 handy study apps to share with your high school student.
Juggling the workload that comes with being a secondary school student doesn’t come easily to everyone.
With homework, study, assessment and exams dates, sport and extra-curricular activities – and possibly even that first job – it can sometimes feel overwhelming trying to keep to a schedule.
These apps might not suit everyone, but hopefully you and your teen can find something to help ease the mental load of trying to remember what’s due when or where they need to be on Thursdays at 4pm and be set for a productive year ahead.

And finally, remind your teen to ask their teachers for help and guidance on getting organised. Teachers want their students to succeed so a student who is willing to stop and ask for help is taking another step towards success.
