Moving On Up - Primary to Secondary

Editor's Notes

  1. This Presentation is largely based on the research in a book called Moving Up! It is referred to in my reference at the end of the presentation. In it research was done in Irish post primary schools on how was the experience of moving from primary to post primary for the schools involved in the research, the students and the parents. An excellent resource. The images in the presentation were all sourced from google images.
  2. This slide gives an overview of the content of the presentation. It is based on the 3Ps – Preparation, People and Programmes. It shows the various topic links to each of these key ingredients.
  3. “Most students reported settling into post-primary school within the first week but for a quarter of the students it takes about a month. One in 6 students …take longer than a month to settle in and a few of them still do not feel settled by the end of the first year.” (Moving up- Smyth, Mc Coy and Darmody)
  4. According to Smyth, McCoy and Darmody in their research the key factors in influencing how successful or not the transition from primary to post-primary will be for a student are :- Family Background Sense of Self Adolescent Development Interaction with Peers Interaction with Parents Bullying
  5. Main adjustments “changes in the physical environment and school size, the number of teachers and subjects, the longer school day, the structured timetable, the way in which subjects are taught and the nature of rules and discipline.” (Moving Up- Smyth, McCoy and Darmody)
  6. “There is a need for a planned, multi-faceted and long-term effort which involves parents, children and school staff.” (Moving Up- Smyth, McCoy and Darmody)
  7. Entrance Examinations Aptitude Tests 1st Saturday in February Verbal and Numerical Ability Reading Test Allows us identify students with specific learning difficulties Put necessary support structures in place School Tour- Leadership Committee Subject Choice Base Subjects (Exam) -Irish -English -Maths -French/German -History -Geography -Religion (exam subject) -CSPE Base Subjects (Non Exam) -Choir -Drama -P.E. -SPHE -Computers Option Subjects (Choose 3) -Technical Graphics -Home Economics -Science -Music -Spanish -Art -Business Sampling- Visits from Teachers to Primary Schools e.g. German Classes formed on basis of Music, German or Business. Uniforms and Books Book Lists Contact names and costs- uniforms
  8. This provides a great opportunity for the 6th class students to meet with some of the personnel in the secondary school before their first day. It also gives them a flavour of some of the subjects they may take in post primary.
  9. The Pastoral Care System/Team Principal Deputy Principal Chaplain Guidance Counsellor Year Head(s) Tutors Learning Support Teacher Mentors/Big Sister Representatives on the Student Council (some schools may have a Home-School Liasion Officer)
  10. Programmes Induction Programme: helping students settle in on their first day. Study Skills Programme : Needs to take place soon after arrival- preferably in the first month. After Schools Programme of Activities Basketball Drama Justice/Peace Group Gaelic Football Morning Prayer Group Athletics Hockey Volley Ball Soccer Badminton Badminton Table Tennis Keep Fit Cool School Week : Anti- Bullying Programme which runs for a week.

  11. Induction Programme Handover- Primary Teachers to Secondary School- Speeches Meet Pastoral Care Team Rules Outlined Meet Mentors/Big Sister Tour- Orientation Game Tutors/Class Groups - Hopes and Fears - Find a Friend Subject Sample - 2 Subjects (x30 mins)
  12. Study Skills Programme Meet each class in 1st month Expectations around homework and study Location Tips to help study Note Taking Organisation- Filing, Lockers,Study Timetable
  13.
