With the accompanying stories, a clearer picture is formed. Read the narratives of their challenges, triumphs, and shared moments. The exhibition will surely present valuable insights into your child’s school life.

Start conversations and share common memories

As you view the stories on display, perhaps a tinge of nostalgia may set in as you reminisce about your own school memories. What was the most unforgettable moment from your own school days that the exhibition reminded you of?

Share your personal stories with your child and you may learn how things might have changed since then. Encourage them to talk about their own experiences or share about what they see at the exhibition. What are the different subjects, activities, and values showcased in the photo stories?

Keep the conversation going and ask your child about his or her interests and aspirations.
