High school

Try one piece of real work

Try a small task with a welcome project or student media team and see what you learn.

Try one small part of a school project and see how it works. A welcome activity or student media team gives you a place to start: what helps someone new join in, and what gets in the way? You might check the welcome information or help explain a first assignment. Agree who will review your work and how you'll check whether it helped. Keep a few notes so you have something specific to improve next time.

Talk it through

  • What might a new student or first-time team member find confusing?
  • Which small part of the welcome or joining process could you help with?
  • How could you tell whether your task helped someone?

Try this next

  1. Ask someone who recently joined what they needed to know at the start.
  2. Choose one small task, set a deadline and agree who will check it with you.
  3. Try it, note what happened and talk about one thing to change next time.
