The Parents’ Guide to Standing out from the crowd (Years 10-13)
The summer hols are a fantastic time for your teen to start or develop their hobbies. Did you know that having different interests can improve their skillset (such as being able to communicate well, work with others, problem solve, be adaptable) and develop their personal strengths (such as improving confidence, being resilient, compassionate, and empathetic)? Best of all, these activities can be fun and enjoyable too.
We’ve got suggestions of different hobbies to suit all personality types, explaining how each one is directly linked to supporting their applications (whether for jobs or further education) as well as helping them find out more about things they might like to do in the future.
