Josh has just received his results for Sec 5NA mid-year examinations.

His favourite subjects are Mathematics and Physics. He had performed below his expectations and at this rate, he is unlikely to qualify for the science course in the Junior College of his choice. His L1R5 is 23 and his L1R4 is 18. He is at a loss as to where to go as he has not considered other education pathway options and is also unsure of the career options that he is interested in. He is also beginning to feel anxious as his friends are starting to plan for their post-secondary education by applying for Polytechnic EAE.

As a hobby, he attends programming lessons and recently came in second for a coding competition.

Below are more guiding questions that can help deepen your discussions too.

•What helpful questions would you ask Josh?

•What resources would you use or refer Josh to?

•What superpowers would you apply?

•What actions would you guide Josh to take?

Provide advice (superpower skill: influence)
- guide him in exploring the various science courses offered in Poly, and map out how these courses would allow him to tap on his strengths and interests
- broaden his knowledge about other jobs
- direct him to resources he can turn to: skillsfuture platform

Provide encouragement
- affirm his strengths
- help him understand the various opportunities out there

Help Josh reflect on things about himself
- understand his motivations behind wanting to pursue the Science course in JC
- we can also share what we observe about his strengths

# data[].attributes.body
-Find out from Josh why he wants to go to Junior College and perhaps ask what his interests are as well as other career aspirations; given his academic performance and perhaps consider other options besides JC; what about considering coding and programming instead of just the sciences only
-Post secondary options available in relation to the sciences - what may be available out there
-Superpowers used to help Josh - using the skillsfuture portal to direct Josh to navigate to the appropriate pathways that may be available as well as explore other options; introduce interesting courses in poly that may be more science-based or perhaps in programming ("having the best of both worlds")
-Needs someone to talk to him about his aspirations and career options; offer him advice; needs to listen to other perspectives and get advice from his teachers and counsellors

[Influence] Get Josh to understand himself better based on the Advising Frame, ie. his disposition, values, skills or abilities or skills that he has; and what he could do/where he could venture into.

[Empathy] Find out reason he wanted to go to JC and empathise (it could be due parents’ expectations) and to calm his anxieties.

[Navigation] Try SkillsFuture website & SLS package to explore other opportunities available; and to speak to different adults to widen his perspectives on subsequent education pathway.

Questions:
1) Why do you want to go to JC?
2) What course are you interested to go for?
3) Do you have other alternative instead of JC?
4) Besides JC pathway, have you explored Poly?
5) What does he want to do? Though he likes Programming, does he really want to do it as a career?

Resources/ Guiding Questions:
- How to improve his Math and Science.
- Give more information about the JC curriculum and whether he is really up for it.
- Look at My Skills Future portal and explore
- For programming and coding, best to attend his own private courses if he intends to go into the programming
- Help students to realise not just to survive JC but to do well. He could qualify but can he thrive? Need to know the rigour, the time management
- Without Pure Physics, he may also struggle in JC

Continue to encourage him to do well and pursue excellence.
