Resources to Support Transition
Moving from primary to secondary school is a significant milestone that often brings a mix of excitement and apprehension for students and their families. It's completely normal for this transition to cause some anxiety as students adjust to a new environment, new routines, and new academic challenges. We understand these feelings and have put together useful resources and support to help make the move to Year 7 at SHFGS as smooth and positive as possible.
