So WHAT DO I PICK ? What am I good at? Best vs most enjoyable ( Tracking, reports, Teacher conversations/ feedback ) What do I want to do? What do I need to do? Are there coursework elements which I am good at? @CHS_CHRYSTON https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/nl/chrystonhigh/

Your role? Discuss report card, what does your child enjoy? What are they doing well in? What career path would they like to follow? Ask your Son / Daughter why they are picking subjects? Discuss alternative choices Ask advice from staff at parents’ evening. Above all – be supportive, pupils will have an idea of what they are good at, what they enjoy and that should be enough to guide them along the right lines. @CHS_CHRYSTON https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/nl/chrystonhigh/
