Parental Support

It is never too young for your child to begin thinking about what they plan to do with their future, what they aspire to become. Students who have clear personal goals and career ambitions are more likely to make progress in school, attain good exam results and secure an appropriate pathway to a fulfilling and happy future.

What your child dreams of becoming may differ in year 7 from year 11, but those students who are having regular conversations about the possible choices available to them in higher education and potential employment can not only improve motivation and enthusiasm but also increase aspirations and develop important life goals for all students.
