Don't forget... the Questions to Record area

At the bottom of each of the Prepration Tools pages, you will find the Questions to Record area.  In this area, you have space to record any questions you may have, or follow up you would like support with.  

You can copy and paste these questions into a Word document and bring them along to Orientation day at the start of Semester.  

You may also wish to share some of your questions with your employer, an Education Coordinator if you have one and/or your whānau if it relates to them too.
