Student story - Miss S Icknote

I have written this as a student has started the course and these are her reasons for not continuing..............
Miss S Icknote has not been turning up for class lately:
  • Garment Construction Certificate in Fashion Studies (level 4).

  • open entrance. 16 week course.

  • 5.30pm - 8.30pm

  • Practical class in workshop @ Otago Polytechnic Dunedin, using industrial sewing machines.

Background info on Miss S Icknote:

  • 18 years old and very homesick.

  • Shares a house with 3 other older, part-time, Uni students.

  • English is not her first/preferred language.

Having spoken with Miss S icknote I have discovered her house mates encourage her to party hard with them. None of them are preparing any meals, getting enough sleep and she is struggling with a new culture. She is tired, unwell and has dificulty concentrating when she manages to attend a class.
