CONNECTOR.AE 28 Kids And Education Trust personal instincts: Parents are the caretakers of their children and know them the best. While making a last-minute decision, it is vital to trust personal instincts and go with the school that feels right and caters to the needs of the child. Think of whether the child will thrive in the environment and if what they require from academic to extracurricular support is offered by the school. Amy Carroll of Ranches Primary School said, “Trusting your instincts is essential when it comes to choosing the right school for your child. As parents, you possess a deep understanding of your child’s needs and what environment will best support their growth and development. Trusting your gut instinct can guide you towards making a decision that aligns with your intuition and ultimately benefits your child’s educational journey.” Choosing the right school can be a difficult choice for parents that are making a last-minute decision. However, with the help of these tips that highlight the most important factors to consider, and by visiting schools, virtually or in-person, can make the decision process an easier one for parents. Involvement of parents in decisions: Parents play a vital role in the development of a child, as learning is not only limited to schools and is also implemented at home. Parents are the decision makers for their children and it is necessary for parents to be involved in their educational journey. While choosing a school, join online school groups as well as talk to parents with students enrolled to get a better understanding of how the school involves parents in making decisions for their child. Emma Shanahan of Aspen Heights British School said, “How does the school engage families in supporting them to support their child’s learning? A true learning community gives everyone- children, staff and families, the opportunity to grow and develop. How would you be involved in your child’s learning journey in this school? If you wanted or needed advice or support, are you clear on how you would be able to receive this?” Show starts at 8:30pm thelaughterfactory.com The Hilarity Expedition to the Naughty Pole featuring: Ryan Cullen, Karen Bayley & Nick Page august 18-26
