STRIVE Transition Programme with Y7!

16th Jun 2026
Our Y7s had a blast during our transition workshop with the wonderful Elaine from Strive NI. We discussed our individuality, our hopes and fears, ways to make friends and how to read a timetable. We also juggled our worries in the form of balloons and learned how sharing our worries can make us feel much less overwhelmed. We’re feeling very prepared for ‘big school’ now!
