Personal and Social Education Personal and Social Education in S3 covers the following key elements: Relationships (SHARE), The dangers of gambling and planning for choices and change (target setting, next steps and course selection for the Senior Phase). Alongside this all pupils will get an opportunity to take part in a work placement which will develop their awareness of the local job market and the potential vocational pathways that are available to them.
The course is taught using a variety of methods including class discussion, small group work, practical work, use of DVD and computers for research, individual written tasks and presentations. There is also an opportunity for students to gain knowledge and engage with external agencies such as Community Police and the School Nurse. PSE aims to develop each student’s self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence, assist in developing skills to clarify personal attitudes and values and develop interpersonal skills for life.
