First day at secondary school, high school

Starting secondary school is a truly unique day.

The night before, go through your child's school bag with them: normally the school will have provided a list of items they need. It doesn't matter if they've forgotten a few things; the important point is to get them into the habit of being prepared and organised and sticking to this routine every day.

Don't bombard them with advice or tips. It's best to make comments as and when they're necessary so that they have more impact.

Your child might feel upset because their friends aren't going to the same school. Encourage them to be optimistic by focusing on all the new friends that they're going to make.
