Primary School Students

Support for year 6 students, parents, and carers with taking the leap to secondary school

Transitioning to secondary school is a significant change for students and their families, involving physical, social, and emotional adjustments alongside higher academic and organisational demands. It’s normal for children to feel apprehensive and overwhelmed.

We offer 1:1 coaching for students and their parents/carers during Term 3 and Term 4 of the year before starting secondary school.

Our personalised coaching sessions provide tailored support and practical strategies, helping students confidently embrace this new chapter in their educational journey.

The coaching sessions:

Prepare students for what to expect
Increase awareness and knowledge
Reassure students that their feelings are valid and normal
Decrease anxiety
Boost confidence and reduce overwhelm
Provide transition strategies
Enhance independence and responsibility

1:1 Coaching Format:

Two 30-minute interactive workshops for students
Tailored support and strategies for coping with secondary school, including organisation and time management

Parent Session:

One 30-minute session offering practical tips and strategies to support their child’s transition

Organising Students has successfully run this program for over 10 years, both in primary schools and through individual support for students and families.

What are the steps involved to get started?

Step 1

Step 2

Schedule sessions around transition days to secondary school, typically in Term 3 or 4. We recommend two 30-minute sessions: one before a transition day to prepare and one afterwards to debrief and address concerns.

Don’t just take our word for it

"That was brilliant, thanks! Our daughter was on such a high afterwards. We had already spoken about lots of what you raised, but obviously it's different coming from someone outside the family. ;-) So grateful we found you! See you in a couple of weeks - I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the session."

"The transition from primary to high school is such a big leap - the bar is raised and everything is new. Organising Students helped my twin boys wrap their heads around what to expect and how to be organised. It helped them feel more confident about taking the next step in their education."

Support for Younger Primary School Students (Grade 5 and Under)

We offer parent coaching sessions to help you support your child’s organisation and time management and executive function skills. While we don’t work directly with younger students, our sessions provide you with the tools and skills needed to support their learning and development.
