Greeting students and parents at the car park as they arrive each morning has become a most enjoyable part of my day. We have been encouraging conversational manners and it is pleasing to see the excellent improvement in this area for all our children, from the youngest through to the eldest students. It is important that we encourage our students to be confident and independent in all aspects of their lives. Speaking confidently is a life long skill that can make a difference to the self esteem of young people. I love it when the students stop to greet me, converse about their evening or weekend, and respond without prompting with excellent conversational manners.
