Top Tips for Students You are the future – believe in yourself! You are the ones that can make a real difference. Think about what your strong points are (if you’re not sure, ask a friend!) – this will help show you how and where you can be the most effective! Go back to your school, and tell your teachers that you want to help and how you can help – it might be in a particular subject, it might be helping set up a focus group! The best thing you can provide your school with, is ideas and enthusiasm. Talk to your teachers, your head- teachers, tell them what can be done, what must be done – and how you can help them do it! Why not see if you can team up with a Digital Leader from another school to offer help and support!
