Transition from primary to secondary school made easier
B. • 10 July 2022
Great news for those who are taking the big step of moving to Secondary school!! Starting somewhere new can be a challenging experience for anyone, especially for 11/12 years kids/teens. We are delighted to offer a Belonging + evidence-based program for those who are making the transition process this September!! This course will teach them to enter the new chapter of their life prepared and full of confidence.
Transitioning from Primary to Secondary School 5-Week Programme based on BELONGING PLUS evidence-based programme
This online transitions programme for children transitioning from 6th Class to 1st Year aims to support your child in preparing for secondary school. Across five one-hour sessions, your child will learn about time management, organisation, study and rules; making friends, and looking after our physical and mental health. The sessions are discussion-based and interactive – children will be encouraged to share their opinion and find their voices. This programme is based on the Belonging Plus+ school’s programme.
100% of parents rated that their children had found the programme helpful and that they had enjoyed it.
The children said:
“the discussion about something new and the uncertainty of secondary school,”
“hearing other people’s experiences.”
“it made me feel happy”
“it was helpful and interesting”
“it was nice to know I wasn’t the only one experiencing some situations.”
