MOVING ON
Below is some information on what this talk is about and the topics covered
Primary to Secondary - Moving On
The purpose of this talk is to prepare year six students for the difficult and often daunting transition from primary school to secondary school. Equipping them with a variety of different tools and strategies to take the big leap in their stride.
This workshop is specifically designed to make the transition from primary to secondary as smooth and pain free as possible. We work on how to prepare for and cope with the many changes they'll face, reflecting on what practical actions students can take to help improve on and build their self-resilience. We explore the many differences between primary and secondary school, debunking myths and challenging misconceptions as well as thinking about what students can do to prepare for the shift.
​
Using a variety of games and drama based activities we work on developing social skills and and enhancing peer relationships, whilst also strengthening self-advocacy skills through group reflection around scenario based role-play. We introduce students to secondary school routines, time tables and expectations, allowing them to tentatively begin the process of adjustment and start the mental preparation for graduating in a safe and supportive environment.
