Mental health & wellbeing

Hey there, those three days are a chance to make your new school feel a bit more familiar before everything properly begins ✨

Feeling nervous and really excited at the same time is totally understandable, and lots of other people will probably be feeling nervous too.

Here are a few ways you could make the most of the days:

👉 Explore the building and notice where your classrooms, toilets and cafeteria are, or use a school map if there is one.

👉 Once you get your timetable, you could check the next day’s classes the night before and use a planner or calendar for important dates.

👉 Smile, say hello and start small conversations, as everyone will be getting used to new people.

👉 Ask a teacher or classmate if you’re unsure where to go or what to do, as people are usually happy to help.

👉 Look out for clubs or activities that interest you, since they can be a good way to meet people who like the same things 💛

Getting enough sleep, eating well and taking breaks can also help while you settle into the new routine.

If it all starts to feel overwhelming, you could talk to a teacher or a parent or trusted adult 🫶

Hope the three days go brilliantly, you’ve got this 🌟
