Supporting Students Through School Transitions: Helping Your Child Navigate Change with Confidence
Date: 28 September 2026, Monday
Time: 12:00PM – 1:00pm
Mode: Zoom
Is your child moving to a new school, curriculum or stage of education?
School transitions bring new routines, relationships and academic expectations. While many students adapt with time, learners with specific learning differences (or those who simply learn differently) may find these changes especially demanding.
A student who once seemed confident may begin struggling with organisation, workload, unfamiliar teaching styles or the emotional uncertainty of starting again. Without the right support, these pressures can affect both learning and well-being.
In our upcoming Learning Lounge Webinar, we explore how parents and educators can help students prepare for change and settle successfully into a new learning environment.
Join our experienced specialists as they share practical ways to identify a student’s needs, strengthen essential transition skills and provide consistent support at home and at school.
A successful transition is not simply about coping with change. It is about helping every student feel understood, prepared and confident about what comes next.
In this session, you will learn:
- Understanding Transition Challenges: Why changes in school, curriculum, routines and expectations can be particularly difficult for some learners.
- Recognising the Signs: How transition-related stress may appear through changes in learning, behaviour, confidence or motivation.
- Building Essential Skills: Practical strategies for strengthening organisation, independence, communication and self-advocacy.
- Creating a Supportive Transition Plan: How parents, educators and specialists can work together to provide continuity and help students thrive.
