Moving to secondary school is the start of a new, exciting adventure! There are going to be lots of changes – new buildings, new subjects, new teachers, new daily routines, new journeys to school, new friends and new responsibilities.
This change might initially seem daunting, but here’s a little secret – with the right advice, preparation and attitude the journey can be fun, exciting, interesting and one of the best experiences of your lives!
To help with this transition, Junior Leaders has prepared a free Secondary School Survival Handbook that is available for download. Accompanying the handbook is a series of bight size videos that summarise the key content. These are available below.
The Secondary School Survival Handbook is intended to be read by students, and their parents or carers to help prepare for a successful transition. The Survival Handbook may help identify any topics or issues that hadn’t been previously considered and then start a discussion.
Printed handbooks can also be orded by schools and youth groups in multiples of 50, details below.
