Preparing tweens for High School

Tuesday 23 May 2017

Inner West Council’s Stepping Up program supports tweens (students in years 5 and 6) transition from primary to secondary school.

Stepping Up’s skills development and capacity building targets life skills, social skills, safety skills, and independence skills. The program also includes engagement with parents or carers of tweens

The free series of workshops commence in early June, and continue through until the end of June.

This four-week program provides tweens with skills and confidence through team building activities, games and facilitated discussions.

Leadership abilities, communication skills, resilience and creativity are all targeted and nurtured.

The theme is ‘Design Squad’ with a different group challenge each week that encourage design thinking and teamwork.

Every Monday from 5 – 26 June, 3pm - 5:30pm (3:30pm start)
