Making an Effective Transition to Second-Level: Coping with Change

An interactive webinar for teachers and parents of 6th class pupils/ In-coming First Year Students

How your child adapts to their new secondary school matters. Regardless of ability, the evidence points to preparation being key to young adolescents coping with change. Addressing key changes including school organisational changes, puberty, personal characteristics and learning to learn, the objective of this important webinar is to facilitate a conversation which will enable parents to support and develop resilient young people and give them tools to be ready to cope with change as they move from primary to second-level.

Parents are welcome to have their child on-line with them.
