The Student Agents

This fortnight, our Student Agents came up with 3 questions they wanted to ask students at SEPS: 

• Why do you think whole body listening is important?  
• Do you think you’re good at listening? 
• How do you feel when people are listening/ not listening to you? 

Foundation (Ari, Charlie and Omer)

We chose to take some photos of Foundation students showing 'whole body listening'.
