Transitioning from Year 6 to Year 7 can be an exciting yet challenging time for many students. It marks the shift from primary school to secondary school, which often involves changes in environment, routines, and expectations. Below are some common transition issues that we support students develop strategies to help navigate them:
New School Environment: Adjusting to a larger school with unfamiliar classrooms, multiple teachers, and a larger student population can be overwhelming.
Making New Friends: Meeting new classmates and making friends can be intimidating. Remember that many other students are also new and looking to make friends.
Increased Independence: Year 7 often comes with greater expectations for independence and self-responsibility.
