SOCIAL SKILLS<br />
PEOPLE IN MY LIFE<br />
To be the very best that you can be, and then extend again to make your best better, you have to be in a “good place” as<br />
a person. You are a son, daughter, brother, sister, niece, nephew, cousin, grandchild, well before you are a student. Feeling<br />
that you are in the ‘right’ place as a family member and individual is the key to your success as a student.<br />
Therefore, it is essential to understand how you can set up your support TEAM. The various members of your TEAM will<br />
all be able to support your “needs” and “wants”, but the key is knowing which TEAM members are the best for the job; no<br />
one person can do it all.<br />
There are four groups of people always there for you; they are:<br />
• Family and Friends - their role for you is to care, love, share highs and lows and provide the emotional stability that<br />
enables you to know yourself and feel that you matter as a person first and foremost.<br />
• Teachers - their role is to teach you how to learn effectively, how to think critically and creatively and how to study<br />
strategically so that you can get the most out of your education.<br />
• Year Level Advisors/Coordinators/Counsellors - their role is to assist you to overcome issues and situations which<br />
upset you and hinder your progress; you have to play your part and share issues, they can’t read your mind.<br />
• Mentors - their role is to demonstrate positive and appropriate behaviours and share successful strategies and possible<br />
pitfalls.<br />
ACTION STOCKTAKE<br />
Reflect on each of the supports in your life and write down how they influence you. Be honest with yourself.<br />

LIFE’S KALEIDOSCOPE<br />
Small twists of the Kaleidoscope on any<br />
of the sections creates whole new mixes<br />
of people. These people have the power<br />
to influence who you are and who you<br />
will become. Always remember that you<br />
are ‘uniquely’ you. Wrap yourself in your<br />
own Kaleidoscope of life, doing this will<br />
help you learn more about yourself so<br />
that you can thrive even more.<br />
