Transition to secondary school webinar

Listen

Join our webinar on Tuesday 28 November from 7pm to support students in making the transition to secondary school a positive experience. 

Transitioning from primary to secondary school may be a significant change for students.  The adjustment can feel full of possibilities and yet, fraught with unknown trials. Although most students (and parents) will have a sense of optimism, some may feel a sense of anxiety; and it is a journey of change that can be made positive - with preparation, planning and ongoing support.

The guest speaker for the webinar will be Rod Dungan who has worked with young people for over 40 years and is the Director of Thriving Youth Australia.

What will be covered:

  • The basic information - routines, public transport and homework
  • The “tricky” stuff - friends, bullying and anxiety
  • The important information - workload, getting help and working with your child’s personal and learning strengths
  • The complex information - managing technology, anxiety, school refusal and supporting your child's mental health and flourishing in school.


Parents and carers who attended this event last year shared the importance of the event in helping to provide strategies and reduce the anxiety in this new transition.

  • “Thank you such a great webinar and I have learnt a lot”
  • “You have helped to ease my anxiety and worries”
  • “So helpful, glad I attended”
  • “Great strategies that I will definitely use”
