Welcome to our “Ready for Action” workshop, meticulously designed to embolden Year 8 students as they transition to the next chapter of their academic voyage! Through engaging and interactive exercises, our aim is to equip Year 8 students with vital abilities to cultivate friendships, uphold organisation, and tackle new hurdles with assurance. Our lively sessions will spark enthusiasm for what lies ahead and equip them to confront any obstacles they may encounter in their upcoming school setting.
Routine
We dive into 'big school' routines and their importance. From understanding the distinctions between primary and post primary school schedules, to mastering every aspect from bedtime to the first bell, we've got you covered! We pay particular attention to 'the superpower of sleep,' 'owning the morning' and 'fueling our brain and bodies.'
Responsibility
Students will grasp the significance of assuming responsibility, engaging in practical exercises focused on workload management, various subjects, and prioritization skills. We utilize interactive quizzes to infuse an element of competition and excitement into the learning process.
Relationships
Making new friends can often be the primary concern for Year 8 students. We emphasize how this is one of the most exciting aspects of 'big school.' We delve into the 'how' of making friends in new settings, engaging students in interactive activities. Through games like 'mind melt,' we showcase the power of finding common interests. Lastly, we draw parallels between a new class and a sports team, exploring real-life scenarios to highlight qualities that students can bring to their new team.
