The move from primary to secondary school is a significant milestone for any child — and often an emotional one for parents too. At Edit Your Life Consulting, we’ve developed a 6th Class Transition Course designed to make that leap less daunting and far more positive.
This engaging, child-centred programme supports students in their final term of primary school, preparing them practically and emotionally for what lies ahead in secondary school.
We’ve created a supportive, friendly environment where children can talk about their feelings, explore concerns, and get practical tools to help with the change. Topics include:
Finding My Way Around – Navigating a new school layout
Worries – How to handle the unknown with confidence
The Starting Point – Setting goals for a strong start
Timetables & Journals – Building routine and structure
Books, Homework & Equipment – What to expect and how to prepare
Uniforms, Lockers & Devices – Getting organised from day one
School Rules & Year Head – Understanding structure and support
Friendships & Bullying – How to make friends and stay safe
Extracurricular Activities – Building confidence outside the classroom
By addressing both the emotional and practical aspects of the move, we help children feel more in control, supported, and excited about the next chapter.

Starting secondary school is about more than new uniforms and timetables. It’s about growing independence, resilience, and confidence. The 6th Class Transition Course helps young people begin this journey with the tools they need to thrive — emotionally, socially and academically.
“This programme is designed to equip students with practical tools and information to make a smooth transition. It answers questions, alleviates worries, and gets children looking forward to the move.”
The 6th Class Transition Course is €95 per child and spaces are strictly limited to keep the group small and supportive.
