A parents support guide helping your child cope with Year 12
Webinar: A parents support guide for coping with Year 12
With HSC Final exams just around the corner, the next 10 weeks will be full of additional challenges for your year 12 teen.
Year 12s’ are operating in a society where hope is at an all-time low, and motivation to drive to the finish line might seem pointless or be lacking in motivation.
As fathers and father-figures, there has never been a more important time to be aware, watchful, supportive and nurturing. Join our webinar with Dr Tim Hawkes to look at three key areas of a Year 12 students’ life you can work on for a positive outcome:
- Health issues
- Learning issues
- Moral issues
This live webinar was held on Thursday 24 September.
The goal of this webinar is to equip you with tools to support your child during their Year 12 final exams.
