SB Mentoring

Life Skills / P.S.H.E.

Supporting our students to have the capacity to learn fundamental skills that will offer a better understanding of social, emotional, and cognitive capabilities, to problem solve and achieve their goals.
We focus on 5 key skills to include:

Focus and Self-Control: Students need this skill to achieve their goals, especially in a world filled with distractions and information overload. We focus on teaching them key skills including paying attention, exercising self-control, remembering the rules, and thinking flexibly.

Perspective Taking: This involves our student’s understanding of how others think and feel and forms the basis for the student’s understanding of the intentions of parents, teachers, and friends. Students are less likely to get involved in a conflict when these feelings are understood and recognised.

Communication: Being one of the most lacking in today’s society, communication is so much more than understanding language, reading, writing, and speaking. Communicating is the skill that determines what one wants to communicate and realising how it will be understood by others.

Critical Thinking: This skill supports our students to analyze and evaluate information. Students need critical thinking to make sense of the world around them and solve problems.

Self-Directed, Engaged Learning: By setting goals and strategies for learning, our students, hopefully, will become attuned and better prepared to change as the world changes. Fostering their curiosity to learn and realise their potential.
