My Goals and Plans
Goals are things that you want to achieve in the future. They are things that will help you to be
prepared and ready for change at school or in your life. It is important that you think about goals early
because then you can work out how to achieve them. Thinking about goals means that you will be
prepared to study the subjects you like, do the types of occupations you prefer, and keep your future
options open. If you meet a goal throughout the year, set another new one for yourself – maybe a
more challenging one.
Think about goals that relate to school and life. For example, a school goal
might be to read 15 books this year, and a life goal might be to go for a
bike ride at least 4 times a week.
Think about why the goals you have made are important. For example,
reading 15 books will help you to do well at school, and riding your bike at
least 4 times a week will help you to stay healthy.
Think about how long it will take you to achieve your goals. Some goals
are short-term which means you can achieve them in a few weeks. Some
goals are long-term which means it might take a year or more before you
can achieve them.
What is my goal? How will I do it? Why is it important? When will I do it by?
You may need some help from allies to achieve your goals. Allies are people who can help you in
different ways, like family members, community members, teachers, friends and other people you
trust.
Who can help me? How can they help me?

My Review
Throughout the year it is important for you to spend some time thinking
about the goals and plans you set for yourself, and what it was like
discovering your strengths and interests. Reflecting on what you wrote in your
Career Action Plan throughout the year, you might need to include some new
things in your next Career Action to help you to achieve your long-term goals.
