Grade 6 Transition Program
Fun and interactive workshops delivered in school to support Grade 6 students with their transition into secondary school.
We know that finishing primary school and preparing for Year 7 can be an exciting but also nerve-racking time for many students. Each year, Melton Young Communities in partnership with the Melton Reconnect Program offers valuable school-based workshops for Grade 6 students transitioning into secondary school next year.
Our fun and interactive transition workshops focus on the following practical areas:
- changes to expect in secondary school vs primary school
- use of school lockers/locks
- how to read secondary school timetables
- time management/planning strategies e.g., tackling homework, establishing a healthy routine, mapping how to get to school etc
- dealing with feelings of stress/anxiety
- mindfulness strategies
- dealing with peer pressure
- social skills and tips for building connections
- understanding the local services and support options available to young people
Workshops offer:
- a 120-minute facilitated session in school delivered by Youth Workers
- fun and engaging activities
- full transition booklet for all Grade 6 students to take home
- visual/audio presentation
Grade 6 Transition workshops will be delivered during Term 3 & 4.
