THE NEXT
Chapter
A 75 minute circle helping Grade 6 girls feel ready for secondary school and all that comes next.
I am yet to met a grade 6 girl who does’t feel really nervous about starting secondary school.
When I sit with young women of this age, all hands go up when we speak about the changes around: buildings, teachers, subjects, and friendships.
Something shifts about half way through grade 6. As a school leader or teacher I know you see it year in and year out.
They start feeling restless and often start making choices that aren’t in line with how they have been behaving for most of their primary life.
They start caring a lot more about what others think, what they boys are and aren’t doing, where they fit in.
They start getting itchy for change without knowing how to navigate it well. Because they can feel the shifts, the anticipation and the unknown that’s a’coming.

Preparing for Change
Helping young women access their inner resources so they can navigate the beginning of secondary school with more ease.
When grade 6 girls feel heard and understood amidst the changes, they can begin to wonder and contemplate how they will consciously move from Primary to Socndary School without turmoil in their minds.
When they realise they aren’t alone in their fears and they have the chance to talk through the changes they begin to feel empowered rather that scared.
In turn their term 4 runs much more smoothly.
Friendships feel calmer.
School holidays aren’t filled with angst.
Then… they can step into Year 7 with confidence and self-trust.

It's such an important transition
And one that needs attention.
As a mentor to young women for many years, I am passionate about supporting grade 6 girls in this big step.
Secondary School is A LOT. Do you remember? It’s daunting!
And when it is done without significant emotional support our young women are in jepardy of falling into harmful friendship groups and a pretty wild world of conflict and harmful choices.
This 75 minute session brings Grade 6 girls into alignment with their innate goodness. So they can take the next step into year 7 with a calmer heart and a strong sense of what is good for her as all the changes take place.
