How do we set our young people up for an educationally successful journey? What are the key considerations that we need to mindful of? How can we best support and encourage our young children to be the best they can be?
Every parent wants their child to flourish in life - the roles of the home and school are critical in this process. The goal of this presentation is to provide some principles and tools for parents that will help foster within children a desire to grow, learn and achieve educational success. By drawing on child development research and his experience as a parent, university lecturer/tutor and school principal, Dr Graeme Cross (Swan Christian Education Association CEO) aims to provide insights in this presentation into how schools and parents can work together to achieve outstanding educational outcomes
