#26 - Navigating First Year in Post Primary

As the Christmas break approaches, so ends the first few months in ‘Big School’ for those children who have transferred to post primary this year. Those initial nerves may have eased but at Parentline NI we know that this first year can continue to throw up challenges along the way.

As we all know this is the third academic year for our children to be faced with Covid restrictions and for children entering a new school with all that brings it can certainly be an anxious time. Kerry chats with Toni and Anna who work with children and their families throughout this first year in post primary and share their insight, tips and reassurance.

We hope you enjoy the conversation.
