Knowing that these Skills Mentoring sessions are happening is a really good start! You might ask what the focus skills were for that particular session (you can see the skills words in a graphic towards the top of this page!). For example, we might be asking students to focus on the skills of leadership and creativity. You might want to ask a little about the S6 Mentor or about the wider achievements that were recorded as part of the discussion. The images above give you a good understanding of how the sessions are set up.
