步入初中，學生迎來的是嶄新的、激動人心的生活——獨立學習的機會變多了，在校也能使用筆記本電腦了，還能參加以前不曾嘗試過的新社團、活動和項目，認識新老師、學習新課程、結交新朋友。在孩子眼中，從小學生到初中生的轉變標志著人生新階段的開始，是令人振奮的成長歷程，更是為生活帶來重大變化的過程；而伴隨變化本身而來的，是難以捉摸的不確定性。

對學生而言

小升初真是個奇妙的階段：學生既是小學的“老生”，又是初中的“新生”。其實，同年級組的同學們都有這樣的感受。大多數小學六年級的學生都能順利地過渡到初中的生活，但這個過程中難免會有起伏。上一分鐘還是快樂自信的，下一分鐘可能就會感到緊張和焦慮。在此過程中，家長和老師們都會悉心地做足準備，幫助大家順利地完成這一階段的過渡。

小升初過渡

如果你在小升初的過程中感到擔心、困惑，請及時講出來，向他人傾訴心聲，尋求他人的幫助。這時，你可以列出自己覺得比較難的方面，再細化到下一步行動、下一項決定、下一個時刻，這樣一來，困難的事情就會變得比較可控。

結識新友，構建關系

升入初中，你會認識許多之前沒有機會認識的小伙伴，所以你的朋友圈子也會發生變化。初中的課程安排也會有所不同，要適應這種變化也有一定的挑戰性。所以在剛到初中部的前幾周，大家難免會感到不知所措。遇到任何問題時，請隨時向老師和其他學生溝通，大家都會非常熱心地解答你的問題。

以下是給學生的一些建議：

充分利用課程表、校園設施和其他資源，做好日常安排。

積極參與班級活動，尤其是沒有參加過的活動。

看看學校里豐富多彩的活動，挑選一項或幾項最適合自己的去做。

班級教師是非常重要的人，能解答你的任何問題。當與同學產生摩擦、或者遇到一些希望私下聊聊的話題時，也可以跟每天都能見到的班級教師溝通。

對家長而言

不論是對學生，還是學生家長，初中生活都是一種不同的體驗。在惠立，我們為家長提供詳盡的過渡期支持，讓家長充分了解學校的幸福關懷體系、學術體系和其他支持體系。身為家長，支持孩子最寶貴的方法是鼓勵孩子勇于探索，讓孩子能夠坦誠地講出自己或積極、或消極的感受。溝通為孩子提供了傾訴情緒的渠道，能幫助他們順利過渡到新學部的學習生活中。

幫助孩子培養解決問題的能力

當孩子遇到問題的時候，家長可能會覺得替孩子把問題都解決了是對孩子最大的支持。但升入初中后，孩子要更有主動性、更加獨立自主，所以，讓孩子自己找到解決問題的鑰匙吧。

家長可以幫孩子在不同的紙或便簽上寫下所有讓他們擔心的事情，再把這些紙條分為“我能解決的事情”和“我不能解決的事情”，讓孩子把精力集中在自己能解決的事情上，再幫助孩子解決他們不能自己解決的事情。

空出時間來聊聊下一步計劃

進入新的學部，學習新的課程，做難度更大的作業，結交新的朋友——這些難免會讓孩子心生困惑。這時，家長要做的是創建一個能讓孩子盡早說出心中困惑的空間，給未來的對話打好基礎。

跟孩子聊天時不必太過正式——其實輕松的對話可能更有意義。找一片能和孩子單獨相處的空間，讓孩子們感到自己可以在家長面前暢所欲言。

以下是給家長的一些建議：

不要把自己的焦慮轉移到孩子身上

讓孩子勇于迎接新的、有趣的機會，鼓勵孩子大膽探索

在小升初的暑假期間，或者在小學階段，賦予孩子更多獨立行動的機會，讓從小學到初中的過渡更加順理成章。

讓孩子知道自己始終都在身邊，會在需要時及時給予支持。

遵守學校的規定。雖然孩子可能會覺得校規十分嚴格，但校規能確保孩子們最大程度地利用各種學習機會。

在經歷變化的過程中，家長的愛護與支持是孩子們最大的力量源泉。家長是孩子的“定心丸”，讓孩子們在安心的環境里，以十足的信心去探索、感受新的環境，尋找新的人生體驗。換言之，小升初的過程是激動人心的積極體驗，即便途中遇到困難，孩子們也能回到家長身邊，感受來自家人的悉心呵護和大力支持。

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.
