Motivation for matriculants | News Article

The majority of the Class of 2022 begins their final NSC examinations on Monday 31 October 2022.

The pressures that come with being a matric student are high.

Anxiety, stress, and social pressures are the contributors to mental, physical, and social health in school learners completing their final year.

These children need encouragement.

We find that parents at times are also adding to problems. 

For example, when they promise to buy their child a car if they pass their matric or set goals of “7 distinctions”, it leads to anxiety and a desperate need to do well to please the parents, which can have opposite results.

Motivate your children instead with the following:

·     You are good enough

·     You can do it

·     Do your best

·     Don’t compare yourself to others

·     Focus on what matters, which is

·     The sky is the limit

·     Dream big

·     Never give up

Motivation should be like daily bread, filling to the body, mind, and soul.
