The Problem

According to a recent study, 22% of students moving from primary to secondary school were categorised as having negative transition experience. The report also states that 42% reported a moderate transition experience. This means 2 out of 3 children reported a less than positive experience. The first couple of months in secondary school are crucial. This formative time can have a massive impact on your child's success in secondary school and their teenage years.

Why would you be crazy not to sign-up?

Teenagers today are in trouble. Phone addiction is a massive problem. Education is in crisis. Parents are fearful. 1 out of 3 teenagers will meet the criteria for diagnosis with some form of anxiety disorder by 18. Many teenagers feel overwhelmed. Others are totally demotivated and disengaged. If your child does not get off to a good start in secondry school this can have serious long-term implications such as lack of enagagement, proor grades, resistence to go to school and school avoidance. This can create a lot of tension at home. You do not want to end up doing the Junior or Leaving Cert for your child.

What is Making The Move?

Ray Langan’s Making The Move programme gives parents and their children a framework and toolkit to deal with these issues, get ahead of the curve and start secondary school in a positive and empowered way.
