The years between primary and secondary school (years 6 - 7) are a critical time of change in a child's life and can be tricky for some students.
A recent study led by Life Ed found that a significant number of Australian students feel underprepared and nervous about the move to secondary school.
That’s why we’re proud to launch our Guide to Thrive program, a comprehensive FREE program to assist Year 6’s in their transition into secondary school.
Our new Guide to Thrive program, developed thanks to funding from the Australian Government, includes online resources for teachers and families of Year 6 and 7 students.
Our evidence-based program shines a light on important topics including:
✔ How to ease student academic and social fears
✔ Ways to manage changing school workloads
✔ Learning the logistics of navigating to, from and around school
✔ Creating productive communication between parents, teachers and schools
✔ How to make new friends
✔ And tailoring support for students with special needs
Life Ed is proud to offer Guide to Thrive, as part of our continued commitment to supporting children with their social and emotional learning journey from the early learning years right through to the secondary school transition.
