Transitioning to secondary school is a significant event for students (and their families). It’s a time of immense change in their physical, social and emotional wellbeing. On top of this comes the demand of adjusting to a secondary school environment including higher academic and organisation needs.
This workshop is aimed at providing students (& parents) with the knowledge, tools and strategies to assist them to experience a smooth and successful transition. Students will be provided with many tips on how to cope with the move to secondary school so they can start preparing now and decrease any

organisation and time management

the importance of a planning tool/s to manage time & tasks
what students need to organise in their academic lives
