"Get Set For High School is different because it deals with the anxieties that Year 6 students often experience and provides them with practical strategies to assist with the transition to high school. 

We had an overwhelming positive response from teachers, parents and, most importantly, the students."

"Patrick found this very beneficial. He is no longer worried about high school as he was taught stress management and skills. It was great from beginning to end. Thank you for giving him this wonderful program."

Parent of a Year 6 student

"My son couldn’t wait to tell me about all he had learnt in the workshop. This program has made him very excited about high school because he has been equipped with the skills and belief that he can achieve, so long as he is prepared to do some hard work. It has had a big impact on his understanding of time management and how to prioritise tasks. He’s more focused and goal oriented. Thank you!"

He's more focused & goal oriented

Karen Och, Parent of Year 6 Student

"This has not only relieved Patrick, but he now looks forward to beginning high school. He said the workshop was great from beginning to end. He enjoyed it greatly and found it very beneficial. I believe this to be a wonderful program. 

He is now less anxious to begin his new school journey."

He is now less anxious

M. Ahearne, Parent of Year 6 Student

Thank you for such a valuable program."

He is now less anxious

"Before I was nervous and scared about being in a big school with new people, but this has put me at ease. I would recommend it because it was fun, helpful and enjoyable. It teaches you how to deal with tricky situations."

"I was very scared and freaking out about high school. I learned who to go to for help and how it all works. I'm now so confident about going to high school."

Maria ~ Year 6 student

"If there are worried students concerned about high school (like me!) I would get them to do this. Before, I felt nervous about all the responsibilities and where everything was located, but now I know exactly what to do."

Christian ~ Year 6 student

"Before the workshop, I was worried about high school. Now I know I will always have someone there to help me and I feel like my worries are gone. I think every person in Year 6 should do this workshop." 

My worries are gone

It is very helpful."

It helped me express my feelings

Now I WANT to go!

"I was very worried about the stress of high school. But I learnt lots of different ways to make things easier, like with homework. I'll start high school with a better understanding of just about everything!"

A better understanding
