In today's rapidly changing world, it is more important than ever for young people to develop a strong foundation of life skills. These skills equip students with the knowledge, abilities, and attitudes they need to succeed in school, in their personal lives, and in their future careers. For Year 4-6 students, learning these life skills can have a profound impact on their overall development and well-being.

By developing problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills, students can learn to navigate challenges and make informed choices on their own. This can lead to increased confidence and a sense of agency, which can have a positive impact on their academic
performance and social interactions.
