A Guide to Starting Secondary
Moving to secondary school presents a number of new challenges for students. These are to be expected but are nothing to be concerned about.
You will need to:
- Ask questions when you do not understand
- Take responsibility for your own work
- Understand the value of working hard
- Stick with topics, subjects and relationships when they become tricky or difficult
- Be organised. Know what you need, when you need it and where it is
- Revise for assessments and exams
- Complete more independent work at home and on your own
- Meet deadlines for homework and projects
This may seem a little daunting but you will be able to meet these challenges when you embrace the values of our school: ‘Believe, Achieve, Succeed’
And don't worry as all members of the school community will help and support you to be the best you can as you embark on your journey of learning, development and growth at Mandeville.
