The High School years can be filled with a mixture of trepidation, excitement, anxiety, and stress. Added to this, next year’s cohort of Year 7’s will be entering Secondary School following an unprecedented experience at school in Year 6, many spending much of it in lockdown and in a remote learning environment.
