The lecture is followed by six sessions to be delivered in Friday tutor time from 12.20 to 1pm for the year 12s**. starting on Friday 25th September. There will be follow on sessions as needed to cover specific skills.These will be fun active sessions around the topics of Resourceful, Resilience, Reciprocity (team working) and Reflective - the key attributes referred to as the 4 Rs. Staff are welcome to attend the sessions. For those not able to join us during P3 there is a **staff session in P4** on the same day, to make sure that we all understand the key messages.
