Last week our Year 6 students took part in a Transition to High School Seminar run by the Life Matters team.

The Transition from primary school to high school is one that can bring about feelings of excitement, anticipation, anxiety, and for some, even terror. The fears and worries students may have about this change range from, increased workload, new teachers, making friends, meeting new people, and getting lost. This seminar focussed on three major themes: Change, Challenge, Choice.   Change is constant, Change brings Challenges, and in the face of Challenges, we have a Choice of how we can respond, and we can build resilience through our Choices. Through a range of activities, clips and discussion, the Life Matters team presented information on how students can not just survive during High School, but can thrive in this new environment.
