Year 6/7 Transition Student and Parent Workshop

Transitioning to secondary school is a significant event for students (and their families). It's a time of immense change in their physical, social and emotional wellbeing. On top of this comes the demand of adjusting to a secondary school environment including higher academic and organisation needs. Last Thursday the students participated in a workshop which provided students with knowledge, tools and strategies to assist them to experience a smooth and successful transition. Students were provided with many tips on how to cope with the move to secondary school so they can start preparing now and decrease any stress/ anxiety they may be feeling. The workshop was facilitated by Amanda Lecuade from Organising Students. https://organisingstudents.com.au .

The student workshop took place during the school day, the students also spent a session creating ‘a passport to secondary school’ including sharing information about themselves, what they are looking forward to, setting some goals and any questions they have about their transition. In the evening, Amanda facilitated a parent session (via video link) which was very well attended.
