Starting High School - Parent/ Carer Webinar

Starting high school is a major milestone for both young people and their families. Many of the skills that help young people thrive are developed well before starting year 7. Building resilience, independence, confidence, and healthy coping skills during early primary school years can make a significant difference to how young people navigate change, manage challenges, and embrace new opportunities.

This webinar is designed to help parents and carers understand what to expect as their young person approaches high school, and how they can support their young person throughout the years leading up to year 6 and into high school.

You'll learn about the common challenges young people may face, including increased academic expectations, changing friendships, growing independence, and adjusting to a new environment. The session will also provide practical, everyday strategies for you to help your young person build resilience and confidence, while highlighting the important role parents and carers play in supporting their wellbeing.
