步入初中，学生迎来的是崭新的、激动人心的生活——独立学习的机会变多了，在校也能使用笔记本电脑了，还能参加以前不曾尝试过的新社团、活动和项目，认识新老师、学习新课程、结交新朋友。在孩子眼中，从小学生到初中生的转变标志着人生新阶段的开始，是令人振奋的成长历程，更是为生活带来重大变化的过程；而伴随变化本身而来的，是难以捉摸的不确定性。

对学生而言

小升初真是个奇妙的阶段：学生既是小学的“老生”，又是初中的“新生”。其实，同年级组的同学们都有这样的感受。大多数小学六年级的学生都能顺利地过渡到初中的生活，但这个过程中难免会有起伏。上一分钟还是快乐自信的，下一分钟可能就会感到紧张和焦虑。在此过程中，家长和老师们都会悉心地做足准备，帮助大家顺利地完成这一阶段的过渡。

小升初过渡

如果你在小升初的过程中感到担心、困惑，请及时讲出来，向他人倾诉心声，寻求他人的帮助。这时，你可以列出自己觉得比较难的方面，再细化到下一步行动、下一项决定、下一个时刻，这样一来，困难的事情就会变得比较可控。

结识新友，构建关系

升入初中，你会认识许多之前没有机会认识的小伙伴，所以你的朋友圈子也会发生变化。初中的课程安排也会有所不同，要适应这种变化也有一定的挑战性。所以在刚到初中部的前几周，大家难免会感到不知所措。遇到任何问题时，请随时向老师和其他学生沟通，大家都会非常热心地解答你的问题。

以下是给学生的一些建议：

充分利用课程表、校园设施和其他资源，做好日常安排。

积极参与班级活动，尤其是没有参加过的活动。

看看学校里丰富多彩的活动，挑选一项或几项最适合自己的去做。

班级教师是非常重要的人，能解答你的任何问题。当与同学产生摩擦、或者遇到一些希望私下聊聊的话题时，也可以跟每天都能见到的班级教师沟通。

对家长而言

不论是对学生，还是学生家长，初中生活都是一种不同的体验。在惠立，我们为家长提供详尽的过渡期支持，让家长充分了解学校的幸福关怀体系、学术体系和其他支持体系。身为家长，支持孩子最宝贵的方法是鼓励孩子勇于探索，让孩子能够坦诚地讲出自己或积极、或消极的感受。沟通为孩子提供了倾诉情绪的渠道，能帮助他们顺利过渡到新学部的学习生活中。

帮助孩子培养解决问题的能力

当孩子遇到问题的时候，家长可能会觉得替孩子把问题都解决了是对孩子最大的支持。但升入初中后，孩子要更有主动性、更加独立自主，所以，让孩子自己找到解决问题的钥匙吧。

家长可以帮孩子在不同的纸或便签上写下所有让他们担心的事情，再把这些纸条分为“我能解决的事情”和“我不能解决的事情”，让孩子把精力集中在自己能解决的事情上，再帮助孩子解决他们不能自己解决的事情。

空出时间来聊聊下一步计划

进入新的学部，学习新的课程，做难度更大的作业，结交新的朋友——这些难免会让孩子心生困惑。这时，家长要做的是创建一个能让孩子尽早说出心中困惑的空间，给未来的对话打好基础。

跟孩子聊天时不必太过正式——其实轻松的对话可能更有意义。找一片能和孩子单独相处的空间，让孩子们感到自己可以在家长面前畅所欲言。

以下是给家长的一些建议：

不要把自己的焦虑转移到孩子身上

让孩子勇于迎接新的、有趣的机会，鼓励孩子大胆探索

在小升初的暑假期间，或者在小学阶段，赋予孩子更多独立行动的机会，让从小学到初中的过渡更加顺理成章。

让孩子知道自己始终都在身边，会在需要时及时给予支持。

遵守学校的规定。虽然孩子可能会觉得校规十分严格，但校规能确保孩子们最大程度地利用各种学习机会。

在经历变化的过程中，家长的爱护与支持是孩子们最大的力量源泉。家长是孩子的“定心丸”，让孩子们在安心的环境里，以十足的信心去探索、感受新的环境，寻找新的人生体验。换言之，小升初的过程是激动人心的积极体验，即便途中遇到困难，孩子们也能回到家长身边，感受来自家人的悉心呵护和大力支持。

There are many new and exciting opportunities to look forward to when you start Junior High, from increased independence and laptops to clubs, activities, and events where you can try something you have never done before. However, it also means new teachers, new subjects and potentially a new set of friends. Transitioning from primary to junior high school is exciting for children and marks a new life phase. Children recognise it as part of growing up and know that their lives are about to change significantly. But, like any change, it can also bring uncertainty. 

To pupils

It can seem strange having been the oldest in primary school to being the youngest in junior high school. However, remember that everyone in your year will be feeling the same.Most Grade 6 pupils will manage the transition to junior high school successfully. However, there may be ups and downs. It is easy to slip from feeling happy and confident one minute to feeling nervous or anxious. Your parent or carer and teachers will help you as much as possible through the transition period with their careful and sensitive preparation.

The Transition

Suppose the transitions make you worried or unsure. Please talk about it, ask someone for help and tell them how you feel. You can list the things you think are challenging and try breaking them down into the next step, the next decision, the following moments, and problems will feel easier to manage. 

Building new friendships and relationships

You may not have the same friends in Junior High school as you do at the end of Upper Primary. Naturally, your friendship groups will change because you get to meet lots of new people whom you have never had the chance to meet before. It can be challenging to find your way around a new timetable, and in the first few weeks, at a new school, you might be worried about getting lost too. If you meet challenges, please ask teachers and other pupils, who will be happy to help.  

Here are some tips for pupils:

Stay organised by using your timetable, school map and other resources.

Get involved with classroom activities, especially those that are new to you.

Look at all the activities the school has on offer and pick one(s) that feels right for you.

Your homeroom teacher will be an essential person to you and the one who can help with any concerns you may have. If you are struggling with a classmate or have any situation you do not want to share, it’s easy to go to your homeroom teacher, whom you will see every day.

To Parents

Junior High school is different for children as well as parents and carers. School staff recognise this and will offer thorough inductions for families, introducing them to pastoral care, academic systems and support the school provides. However, the most valuable thing you can do to support your child is to encourage them to explore their thoughts and to know that they can talk openly about their feelings, both positive and negative. Conversations can help pave the way to talking about your child’s emotions as they prepare for their new school.

Help your child to build problem-solving

It can sometimes feel like solving your child’s problems for them is the kindest thing to do. However, settling into Junior High school is about initiative and independence – let them find their way.Please help your child write all the things that worry them on separate bits of paper or stickynotes. Then, put the worries into piles titled ‘Things I can do something about and ‘Things I can’t do anything about. Then, focus on the things your child can do something about and help them to solve these problems. 

Set time aside to talk about the move

Your child may be worried about starting a new school, learning new subjects, or more difficult schoolwork. They may also have concerns about friendships that may have changed.If you can create a space for your child to tell you if there are any problems early, it will make it much easier to continue those conversations.This does not have to be formal – it is probably better to keep it informal – just a place where you can have some space alone so they feel like they can open up and talk to you.

Here are some tips for parents:

Do not let your worries become your child’s worries.

Prepare your child for all the new and fun opportunities and encourage them to explore what is available.

Increase the independence you give them over the summer holidays or even their months at primary school so that the jump to Junior High feels natural.

Let them know that you are there for them and will help should they need you.

Play by the school’s rules. While it may be frustrating for your child, these rules ensure they make the most of the learning opportunities available.

The greatest strength for any child going through change is knowing they can fall back on their parents" and carers’ love and support. Providing stability and security, giving children the confidence to explore and test their new environment and seek new experiences. It means that transition can be an exciting and positive experience and that if there are any wobbles on the way, they can come to you for reassurance and help.
