Transition to Secondary School

Children experience several milestones, or transitions, during their schooling.

These happen when children move:

  • from home to Kindergarten
  • from Kindergarten to full-time school in Pre-primary
  • from primary school to secondary school
  • to a different school
  • from secondary school to further study, training or employment.

These changes, while exciting, may require a level of adjustment for you, your children and your family, as your children settle into new environments, new ways of learning and new routines.

Here are some helpful resources to make these changes as smooth as possible for you and your children:
