Support from Family

SUPPORT FROM FAMILY

As a family, it goes without saying that you know your child best and always have their best interests at heart. The advice that young people receive from family plays an important role in the subject choices that they make. It is important to take time to talk as a family about the courses a young person is considering. There are some great resources available to families as they help their young person make thier subject choices. Please click on the links to access additional information.
