“If you have never been hated by your child you have never been a parent.” ~ Bette Davis

Cost per talk: R 60.00 per person payable at the door. You do not have to make a booking.

For any enquires please contact Imogan Beukes.

 

For a child there is no more constructive activity than play. Play helps children learn about the world in which they live. They can investigate and discover, test their theories, spatial relationships, explore cause and effect, societal roles and family values. In their everyday lives, they're small and powerless, always being told what to do, and how to do it. Without an adult around, they're running the show!

Social Skills are the foundation for getting along with others. A lack of Social Skills can lead to behavioural difficulties in school, delinquency, inattentiveness, peer rejection, emotional difficulties, bullying, difficulty in making friends, aggressiveness, problems in interpersonal relationships, poor self-concept, academic failures, concentration difficulties, isolation from peers, and depression. Children with learning disabilities, sensory integration difficulties, Asperger’s Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, neurological disorders, and emotional disabilities often need additional training in Social Skills.

We look forward to hosting you and especially those that weren’t able to attend our first talk.

Career Development Workshop
(Life Orientation Teachers)

21 February 2012
Durban Girls' College

The workshops will focus on providing LO teachers with practical and up-to-date career development tools, information and exercises to enhance the facilitation of the development of learner’s employability skills and to support their career decision making process.

 

"Somerset College hosted Achieve Career Development Workshops and found them to be very informative, particularly with regards to the general skills as well as the CV and interview skills that employers are expecting scholars to develop today. We have subsequently ordered Achieve Career’s Development manuals for all of our Grade 9’s – 12’s, as we believe that the manuals provide a practical, holistic and up-to-date Career Development resource for scholars." ~ Anthea Oliver, Head of LO, Somerset College.
