It encourages them to be enterprising and supports them in making effective transitions, positive learning and career choices and in managing their finances effectively. Students also learn to develop healthy and safe lifestyles, how to have good relationships with others and to respect for diversity It enables them to reflect on and clarify their own values and attitudes and explore the complex and sometimes conflicting range of values and attitudes they may encounter.
