Grade 6 · SEL · Lesson 40

Transition to secondary school

Moving from primary to secondary school is one of the biggest changes you will go through this year. New building, new timetable, new teachers, new bag, new names. The change feels huge because it is huge — but it is not a single scary day. A transition is a whole stretch of time that starts now and runs through the first weeks of secondary. The students who settle fastest are not the bravest or the smartest. They are the ones who prepared in small steps.

1Describe a transition as a stretch of time, not a single day
