Dear Parents,
This is a summary of some of the themes that students should be thinking as they look forwards towards their future.
|
If you get the opportunity, please chat with your child about the areas below. Whilst we love it if you take a look through the different grades, please focus on the issues focusing on the areas highlighted for their grade level. The more often positive, forward focused messages are reinforced the more chance we have of them hitting home!

We hope you find this useful.
