How To Get Ready For A New Year At School

At the start of the school year there are many things that need to be purchased. Taking your child along for the shopping trip could help generate some excitement. Where certain items are concerned, they’ll be able to choose what they like best. This will go a long way towards helping them feel happy and confident about going back to school. Luckily at Abbotts College you need not worry about purchasing uniforms, our students don’t wear uniform. 

Make sure your child gets enough sleep and sticks to their regular bed and wake up times. This will help them feel ready for starting a new school year. To ease them into this routine, make sure they’re going to bed and waking up at these “school” times a week before they head back. Minimising technology at night is a wonderful way to help them fall asleep in the evenings and aids in a good night’s rest. 

By remembering all their happy memories from the last year, you can help them look forward to what’s next. Did they win a race on sports day or have the lead in the concert? Talking about the highlights will make them more likely to approach the start of another year with a positive attitude. They’ll also be motivated to give their best in an attempt to enjoy similar successes this time around. 

As parents, we are normally the first to witness when a child isn’t acting like they normally would. If your child is eating, sleeping or behaving differently, there might be something going on with them at school. Should this happen, have a gentle discussion with them and ask them what’s going on. If there’s something you can do to help make the adjustment to a new school year easier, then do. Sometimes, you’ll need to chat to their teachers to make sure that they’re coping with the learning and social dynamics in class. At Abbotts College, our teachers engage with each learner one on one, every child gets the support they need to thrive through our mentoring system. This ensures your child can cope with those learning and social dynamics. We take great pride in the fact that our classrooms are places of growth and academic excellence.
