Real-life role models

Banner_Learners2

A role model is way more than a hero or somebody you idolise. A role model is a person that you admire; somebody who inspires you to be the very best that you can be, because of the example that they set.

A role model is not necessarily the person who is the best at what they do, but is somebody that we recognise as never giving up, and participating or competing in a way that is admirable.

We’ll be chatting with real-life role models on a regular basis and telling you why we think they are good role models. Read their stories and I am sure that you will realise that you too are somebody’s role model. Be proud of that!

Here we are, already a month into 2011! Most of you are probably bombarded with homework and assignments and trying desperately to coordinate sport, study and life! It’s a juggling act and you don’t want to drop the ball! Here’s the good news – it’s okay to drop the ball every now and then. Just don’t lose sight of it!

More good news is that Learning Channel is going to help you stay focussed. Through our website, we will be providing you will all sorts of information – from study tips, discussions, interesting articles, career guidance to important study material. We’ll encourage you to set goals, focus on mental and physical well-being, be socially and environmentally aware and find yourself role-models to inspire you along a road that can feel confusing and difficult at times.

We’re also going to have fun and encourage you to speak to your peers – and us, of course! Communicate and network! These are important life skills to develop and practice. So, tell us what’s on your mind and let us know what you would like to hear and see and know more about. We’d love to hear from you!
