Transitioning to a New Year Level

Whether it is starting school for the first time, moving up to a higher year level or embarking on a journey through Secondary School, there is no doubt that any school transition is a very exciting time for children and parents. 

It means your children are growing up! However, transitioning is an ongoing process. It can continue long after students have entered their new environment and they may encounter difficulties at a number of different stages. These stressors may appear as anxiety and frustration and result in negative or disruptive behaviours. Such behaviours can become problematic making the transitioning process even more difficult for children and parents. 

In the edition of SchoolTV below, you will learn practical strategies to assist your child during the transition process and reduce stress and anxiety levels.
