Transition 2025
Year 6 Transition 2024-2025
Transitioning from primary to high school is a time full of fun, excitement and new experiences, but it can also be challenging or worrying for many students and their families. Norwood Primary School are fortunate to be able to collaborate with local high schools in order to make this process a smooth one. Our local schools are aiming to assist students and their families by making sure every child is prepared and feels supported in their choice for high school learning in 2025.
Coming up later this Term we have experiences available for those students who will be attending Queechy High School and Kings Meadows High School, plus those students who are still unsure. The purpose of both of these experiences is to increase students connectedness to their Year 7 high school, whilst fostering engagement through introductory experiences.
There will be more information to come around these sessions.
The workshops are developed by psychologist Michael Hawton (Parent Shop) and equips parents with:
- a basic understanding of how anxiety develops and functions.
- an understanding of the problem of increasing levels of anxiety in children and some strategies for its treatment.
- some modest skills which can be applied to anxious thinking and anxious behaviour to help a child to develop more adaptive ways to cope with adversity.
HOW: The program will be delivered over 3 X 1 hour sessions. No cost.
WHERE: Queechy High School
WHEN: Thursday 4.00 – 5.00pm OR 7.00 – 8.00pm Dates to be confirmed.
