"10/10! Students were engaged the whole time and learnt some really great messages to prepare them for high school. I think I even learnt some great lessons as well!"
Teacher, North Cottesloe Primary School

"I learnt that I don't have to be scared about high school and what you said helped me a lot - especially in terms of being organised! Thanks so much!"
Year 6 student, St Patricks Primary School

Key concepts covered in this Incursion:

The following are messages we want students to learn through the interactive session:
* Life is full of changes - we need to learn how to cope
* Going to secondary school is a big change and being prepared is important
* Life is full of challenges - we need good problem-solving strategies
* Peer pressure is powerful - good values and community helps to balance this
* Bullying is a concern but good strategies, support and being cyber-safe can help
* Expectations are different - having self-discipline, being organised and a good attitude to learning are important
* Going to secondary school can be a great experience and not to be feared
