Transition – What if ?

I was really excited to start high school and meet new people. I was a little bit nervous on my first day but as soon as I was in the school all the teachers were really welcoming and I soon found my friends from Year 6 and made new ones. 

The school is much bigger than my primary school, but I soon got used to where my classrooms were and now it doesn’t seem so big.

My favourite lessons are Art and Design technology because I like to make things.

Dear Year 6, 

There is nothing to worry about moving into secondary school. If you’re scared, don’t be, there are lots of lovely teachers to take care of you! At first, I was really nervous, but then after a few days I settled down and made new friends. REMEMBER, you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.  You can do this, best of luck!

You shouldn’t be scared because it’s a fun experience and there is nothing to be worried about. When I first joined, I was really nervous but all the teachers and students are really nice and they’ll help you out. It’s a really fun experience and you should just enjoy it
