A day off timetable may sometimes be a day to relax. However, this was not the case for the Year 10s as they experienced a day of planning for their future.
The students were kept busy all day, each class rotating around five important sessions. They were challenged to start thinking about what they like and don’t like by getting to know themselves and know what careers are out there in the world of work.
The University of Auckland ran a session looking at study options and university life. A second workshop focussed on budgeting, goal setting, expenditure and saving. Workshop 3 introduced the students to the requirements of NCEA, while number 4 got them thinking about where they would like to be in the future. The fifth session concentrated on team building activities.
All in all a very busy and rewarding day for our Year 10 students.
