In Transit from Primary to Secondary School  (Above)

Moving from primary to secondary school is a big step for any young person. New subjects, new teachers, new structures and new friends add up to some big new challenges. We want to make that experience both comfortable and exciting. That’s why the 'In Transit' DVD has been produced. It consist of real people, young and older talking about what it means, how to prepare, life at secondary school and how to make the most of it. 

'In Transit'  also responds to questions raised by parents:

 

 

  
  • What do we have to do and what actually happens?
  • What schools can we choose?
  • Can we just go to any school?
  • How do you find out what schools are like?
  • What do we do about uniforms?
  • Do you run any special programs?
  • How much are school fees?
  • What subjects do you offer?
  • How do I stay informed?
  • What role should parents play with homework?
