San Clemente Catholic College have been in partnership with SchoolTV for the past 5 years. SchoolTV is an online resource that brings together experts throughout Australia to assist parents, teachers and students navigate wellbeing issues associated with school and adolescence. 

Because parenting doesn’t come with instructions, SchoolTV is a wellbeing resource that can support you in the challenges relating to modern-day parenting.

This award-winning resource helps build relationships, foster connections, enable understanding and break down barriers to navigate a pathway towards better mental health and wellbeing for young people. It can assist in starting conversations on topics that are sometimes awkward or difficult to tackle.

This weeks feature article addresses school transition. With our Year 7 students heading to camp this week it's a good time to pause and check in with how our students have handled  the first 5 weeks of high school life. Below is some information and links for further resources about school transitions: 

Whether it is starting school for the first time, moving up to a higher grade or embarking on a journey through secondary school, there is no doubt that any school transition is a very exciting time for children and parents. It means that the children are growing up!

However, for many it may also be a very anxious and stressful time for both parents and children. Parents need to be aware of their child’s feelings during any school transition and minimise anxiety so the process is an enjoyable experience for all. It is important for children to attend transition or orientation programs offered by schools. Familiarisation is often key to reducing stress levels. It is also important for parents to talk to their children about their expectations and being more responsible for their own needs.
