Travellers Survey for 2009

As part of Skylight's aim to make Travellers as user friendly as we can, the Travellers survey will be accessed by schools from 2009 via a web portal on the Travellers website. All current Travellers schools will be contacted with log on details before the end of the  current school year. 

The survey is unchanged in look and operation, all that is different is how students access it. Schools will need to ensure that the computers students will be using are linked to the internet.

The portal and survey will be ready for schools to use from the beginning of the new school year.

Travellers helped me deal with feelings and understand what they meant. Its OK to feel and everybody does.

The students from last years group were walking around their heads held high. They were special. Thats how they felt.
