Conclusion
The Grade 12 Life Orientation project of 2023 focuses on providing students with the necessary skills and knowledge to lay the foundation for a successful future. By introducing students to the different career paths that are open to them, and by providing them with information on how to approach their finances in a responsible manner, this project aims to equip students here with the means to make the most of the opportunities available to them. The following is a memorandum in regard to the Life Orientation Grade 12 project for the 2023 academic year.
In order to ensure that all Grade 12 students are properly prepared for their next steps in life, Life Orientation Grade 12 will be introducing a project with the aim of helping educate and guide students during their final year at school.
The key purpose of the project is to provide Grade 12 pupils with the necessary skills required to transition from being a student to venturing out into different options available to them after school. These options include but are not limited to topics such as furthering their studies, looking for employment, or exploring alternative opportunities such as starting their own business.
This new project will encompass a series of educational activities and workshops throughout course of the academic year. These activities and workshops will focus on the core lessons required in order to equip students with the relevant knowledge, skills and competences.
Two of the primary objectives of the project are to:
1. Create awareness and provide guidance on how to choose the right option for a future career.
2. Provide participants with the tools necessary to research and understand the various prospective options after completing school.
In order to facilitate and optimize the success of this project, the following recommended practices have been defined:
1. Develop a plan which states the objectives of the project in clear and measurable terms.
2. Ensure a suitable time frame has been allocated for each of the workshops and activities associated with the project.
3. Engage and collaborate with professionals from the relevant industries.
4. Provide relevant learning materials and activities that are in line with the participants’ needs.
5. Evaluate the project in order to assess the overall impact and if the objectives have been achieved.
It is exciting to see the Life Orientation Grade 12 project underway for the 2023 academic year and the prospects it has of offering students a wealth of knowledge, support and advice during their final year of school. The project is well planned and the outcomes promised are promising.
