TRANSITION TO HIGH SCHOOL

Transitions are moments in life which involve moving from one stage to another and dealing with the changes that come with them. These can include starting school, university or work, moving out of home, moving in with a partner or having children.

A key transition for young people is moving from the familiar primary school environment to a new environment at secondary school. This is a significant change and can present some challenges for your young person.  

How can I prepare my child? 

Families play an important role in preparing and supporting young people to make positive transitions. You can help equip your young person for the transition to secondary school by: 

  • planning and getting organised
  • visiting the school and encouraging your child to go to any secondary school orientation days/programs 
  • doing a trial run with travelling to school
  • inviting older siblings or friends to share information about the school system ie. timetable, changing classrooms 
  • practising ‘what if?’ scenarios 
  • establishing routines including relaxing and fun activities
