2. Academics – Is your son organised in terms of his study routines? Does he dedicate enough hours to study outside of doing homework? Which subjects will he try to do better in this year?
3. School Community – What can your son do to get involved in the activities of the school? Does he wear his uniform with pride? Is he happy when other students in the school are rewarded for their achievements?
4. Home Life – What can your son do to help out at home? Does he understand that being part of a family also means helping out so that the home functions properly?
