High Hopes Educational Services

Many students - and parents - are not ready for high school.

The initial excitement of new teachers, new subjects, moving from room to room and meeting new friends is soon replaced by the increasing demands of homework, assignments, exams, and so on.

How can High Hopes Educational Services help?

We can come into your school and run workshops for Year 5 and 6 students and parents to assist in the transition to high school process.

Our B.O.A.T program identifies four major areas which should be addressed with Year 5 and 6 students in preparation for high school. They are:

Balance between work and play

Organisational skills

Attitude - a positive one!

Time management skills

High Hopes workshops provide students with practical strategies to overcome anxieties associated with the deadlines and work standards expected of them in high school. They will soon learn that they can do it, if they establish simple yet effective strategies and routines both at school and at home.

Parents are also given practical hints on how to help their student at home with organising their work area, establishing effective work routines and striking a balance between work and play.

These strategies have been tried and tested - and they work!

We also offer programs which support parents, students and teachers in a range of learning processes, including understanding how we learn and learning styles. For further details, check our workshops page.
