What Will Change In High School
In this resource, Josh (a 13 year old high school student) talks about some of the changes and similarities between primary school and high school, using positive and reassuring language throughout.
Research has found that highlighting similarities between primary school and high school can reduce student anxiety during the transition. It can help students feel confident they already have some of the skills they will need when they begin high school.
