Learning and school

There is a lot to think about when starting high school:

Will the experience of high school be similar to primary school?
Will support and resources be available if needed?
Will the chosen high school support full inclusion?
Will the school be the right fit for the young person’s physical and cognitive abilities?

Communication between students, families, schools and support teams is so important to a successful transition and high school experience, whether in a mainstream or supported setting. It is one of the key aspects to focus on getting right during this big change.
