Transition from Primary to Secondary School

Moving from Primary School to Secondary School can feel really scary. You are used to being a big fish in a little pond and it can feel that you are about to be a tiny fish in a huge pond!

It is natural to feel worried about upcoming changes. But luckily, you are not the only one in the worried boat. Every year 6 about to be a year 7 will be feeling a little apprehensive. There are some things that you can do to help you:

  • If you are feeling worried about the new route – practice doing it with a friend of family member.
  • Notice that nervous energy in your tummy & rename it excitement!
  • Talk to older friends or family who have been through the transition
  • Talk to family if you are feeling worried
  • Practice putting on your new school uniform – how does it feel?
