• Students will define, articulate, express and verbalise thoughts.

DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP FOR KIDS

Date: 19 Mar 2019, Tue

With the rising problems of fake news and online scams, how do we equip students to think sensibly when they are spending more and more time online?

Children are becoming more and more immersed in the digital world, therefore, it is important to educate the kids on how to engage in respectful communication and collaboration with unknown virtual audiences.

At the end of the workshop the children will be able to get a fair idea of how to:
1. Make an acceptable digital presence online.
2. Interact with content and other people online.
3. Make effective use of various technologies
available online.
4. Consume and contribute to our digital environment.
5. How well they can understand the online culture.

DYSLEXIA STRENGTHS DECATHLON BY ROD NICOLSON

As we continue to embrace dyslexia, we aim to produce and conduct workshops that focus on the strengths of our students with dyslexia.  The chart above provides an overview of the skill areas that workshops are designed and how the skills that each workshop focuses on can enhance the strength/s of our students with learning differences.  Each of these triads helps promote unconventional thinking among our students thereby helping them overcome their learning differences, by developing their own coping mechanism in their learning and their self-confidence.
