Learning

As you progress through school, you will be able to make some decisions about what you want to learn. There are the usual subjects but there might be some new ones, different ways of learning and a range of qualifications available. It is important to choose the learning that is right for you. Do you learn best:
- by listening
- by doing
- by reading
- by seeing
- by a combination of all the above
These websites have information and advice to support you when making decisions about learning
