Tips for starting high school

So, you finish primary school, and you’re ready for your next adventure—high school. You might be feeling a bit nervous; that’s okay 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. Sleeping, exercising, and eating healthy will help you 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 feel great, build self-confidence, and share positive vibes at school.

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 to share these experiences with your new classmates. There’ll be a lot of time to make new friends, so don’t worry if it doesn’t happen in the first few weeks. Make sure to check out what your school has to offer, like different sports, band, or even a photography club.

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.
