Life skills in Action
S4/5/6 COURSE
The new Lifeskills In Action course is an opportunity for pupils in the Senior Phase to consolidate the skills they have developed in the BGE phase by working in the ASL Community Café and through other enterprising activities. Looking at how to develop these skills in a practical and hands-on manner, this course will equip you with skills in planning, time management, money-handling and communication skills. There will also be an opportunity for continued outdoor learning and the chance to work on some practical cookery too.
