Routine
We dive into the shift to '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 learn the importance of taking responsibility. This will involve a practical element around managing workload, different subjects and the skill of prioritisation. We lean on interactive quiz to do so, adding a sense of competition and excitement to proceedings.
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.
