All Abilities Ireland Programme: Aide with the Transition from Primary to Secondary School

Transition from Primary to Secondary School 5-Week Programme (Based on Belonging+ Evidence-Based Programme)

Great news for those who are taking the big step of moving to Secondary School in 2022! Starting somewhere new can be a challenging experience for anyone, especially for kids and teens. We are delighted to offer a Belonging+ Evidence-Based Programme for those who are making the transition process this September! This course will teach them to enter the new chapter of their life prepared and full of confidence.

This online programme for children transitioning from primary to secondary school aims to support your child in preparing for secondary school. Across five one-hour sessions, your child will learn about time management, organisation, rules, making friends, and looking after their physical and mental health. The sessions are discussion-based and interactive – children will be encouraged to share their opinion and find their voices. 100% of parents rated that their children had found the programme helpful and that they had enjoyed it.

Testimonials from children:

“it made me feel happy”

“it was helpful and interesting”

“it was nice to know I wasn’t the only one experiencing some situations”
