YEAR 6 TRANSITION

ransition activities for students moving from Year 6 to Year 7 are crucial
in ensuring a smooth and positive start to secondary school. This period

Tmarks not only a change in academic expectations but also significant so-

cial and emotional development. Well-designed transition programmes help re-
duce anxiety by familiarising students with their new environment, routines, and
expectations, which in turn boosts their confidence and sense of belonging.

At The Regent Primary, we were fortunate to have staff from the secondary school
visit us to provide a basic orientation on life in secondary school. This gave stu-
dents valuable insights into what to expect, helping to ease concerns and pre-

pare them mentally for the changes ahead.
