  • Map out personal strengths and build targets and goals for future dreams and aspirations

    Deborah Pargeter, Head, Lower School

  • “The feedback that we have received from the pupils during and since the programme has been completely positive and it certainly seems to have inspired many of them to follow their dreams."
