LIFE SKILLS
It is been the tradition of ST.PATRICK’S that we give utmost importance to develop the life skills of the students
The term ‘Life Skills’ refers to the skills you need to make the most out of life.
Life skills are usually associated with managing and living a better quality of life. They help us to accomplish our ambitions and live to our full potential.
Any skill that is useful in your life can be considered a life skill. Tying your shoe laces, swimming, driving a car and using a computer are, for most people, useful life skills.
Numeracy Skills
Developing or refreshing your numeracy skills can give you a real boost in life.
Literacy: Reading and Writing Skills
Most people communicate, at least some of the time, using the written word – through letters, emails, reports, text messages, social network feeds and a host of other methods.
Being able to write clearly and concisely is a very powerful way to communicate, either one-to-one or to a much larger audience. We provide articles that will help you to improve your written communication and learn or refresh your knowledge on some of the fundamental rules of writing.
Interpersonal Skills are the skills we use when interacting directly with other people. For example, at a basic level, we use both verbal and non-verbal communication techniques when engaged in a face-to-face conversation.
We also use listening skills. Well-developed listening skills are key to understanding and empathising with others.
We also focus on and develop PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS and COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
