The beginning of a new academic year can come with so much
excitement, anxiety and fear for both children and parents. A new environment
for some learners, meeting and making new friends, and meeting new teachers etc,
can be a whole lot to handle. The freedom and carefree adventures of the
holidays is behind us now. There is so much to be accomplished. Working on new time tables,
family schedules, parent – teacher relationships etc. As we embark on a new
school year, here are some tips Bluebell International School has put together to help us go through this academic year successfully. We hope they come in handy to ease the great task ahead of us.
v
Parents and children should ensure to work on
their family schedule to suit our learners, so that they are able to meet up
with the academic expectations. The very vital activities and tasks should be
prioritized.
v
As parents, stakeholders and educators, we
should all be observant, sensitive and keep our eyes wide open to notice the
things happening to our learners. When they are uncomfortable and need
assistance, recognize when they are to be appreciated and rewarded for the
little and great achievements they accomplish, when they are not in good health
and need immediate medical attention etc.
v
A new school year comes with a lot of
nervousness, worries and irritability. Some of our learners will have a hard time
adjusting to new situations and even unfamiliar teachers. To that effect, we
should create an environment for safe communication with our children. They
should be encouraged to communicate where they have difficulties and where they
find things comfortable.
