Lists & study plans? If anything these holidays should be more free study\reading\assessment completing. The rest of the holidays from her on in you will have half yearlies to prepare, trials and the HSC to prepare for and then you are going to wonder why you studied throughout these holidays.
I think some of you 07ers need to put things into perspective, many 06ers and previous HSC years can vouch that the summer holidays were probably where they were at their least productive and actually had a holiday instead of studying as there is three more sets of holidays for that.
My advice to you and whether you take it or not is up to you but even the 06ers with top marks will agree with me - ENJOY these holidays. Yes if you have texts to read and major works to work on then sure do them, but don’t spend days on end, try to keep a minimum amount of hours on school work just make sure it is productive.
As for reading\studying ahead personally I think it is pointless and the amount you read ahead will seem almost a waste when your class quickly catches up, especially when you don't have a teacher to explain, go over and highlight what you need to know.
People on BOS aren't always telling the whole truth when they talk about doing 20 hours of study each week and the truth of the matter is not everyone needs to study for hours on end. The length of study time is different to each student as each student has different methods of study.
Anyway enjoy the holiday, good luck and I hope you will heed my advice as it is from past experience.
