Tips for starting high school 

So you’ve finished primary school, go you! 
You’re ready for your next adventure - high school. 

You might be feeling a bit nervous - That’s OK and totally normal when you start something new. 

As your first day approaches, try some of our tips to make your transition to high school easier. 

Tip 1: Take care of yourself 

Sleeping, exercising and eating healthy will help you to stay focused. It will also give you the energy you need to tackle any subject and join in class discussions. Looking after yourself will help you to feel great, build self-confidence and share positive vibes at school. 

Tip 2: Try new things

To help you settle in, be open to meeting new people and trying new things. There’s plenty of others in the same boat as you, so try and share these experiences with your new classmates. Make sure you check out what your school has to offer, like different sports, band or even a photography club!

Tip 3: Keep up a routine 

Homework will be one big part of high school life that you’ll need to get used to. But don’t worry, if you set up a routine that includes time for study, you’ll stay on top of your workload. If you can, set up a quiet, distraction-free area at home, this will make homework way easier to do.

Welcome to your high school years, have fun and enjoy it. There may be some challenges ahead, but remember you’ve made it this far!
