Family learning courses (non-accredited) are designed to support parents and carers of children gain skills, knowledge and confidence to support their children with homework and their development. Moving from primary to second level school can be a big step for parents as well as for their children. This short course supports parents and helps them to support their children at this stage of their lives. It is a short course and provides information and time for discussion. The course is usually run in the second level school in the month of May. This has the advantage of introducing parents to the school that their child will attend.
