First Day Of School at RHS

Here are some steps you can take to help new student's get off on the right foot at RHS.

1. Be interested and enthusiastic about their move to high school.
Your encouragement will help your child
to make a successful transition to high
school. Listen to their experiences and
expectations. Try not to dwell on your
own experiences of school.

2. Attend the high school orientation day
Your high school orientation day will be
held towards the end of Year 6, and
is designed to help Year 6 students and
their parents prepare for starting high
school. Being there will help you to better
understand your child's experiences.
Also keep a look out for other events at
your child's prospective school which
may help him or her learn about what
high school is like. Your high school
newsletter will provide more information
on school activities.

3. Make sure travel arrangements to
and from school are organized . This will help to
reduce any concern you may have about
travel for your child. Talk about back-up
travel arrangements – for example, what
to do if your child misses a bus.

4. Discuss the changes every student
will experience. Emphasize that many people feel nervous
about changing from a middle
school to a larger high school, and that
there will be people at the school to help
them adjust.

5. Organize your child's clothes well
before the first day of school
Organizing clothes and materials will help your
child feel a sense of confidence on the
first day of school.

6. Learn about school routines
and timetables
Talking to students already enrolled at
the school can be useful in finding out
information about things such as sporting
venues used by the school and school
finishing times. Your school will also provide
this sort of information to you at the
orientation day and at the beginning
of the new school year. This is on August 14, 2008, 6:00 pm at the Career Center.

7. Help your child to develop good
study habits
Help your child to set aside a particular
time to study – somewhere private
and quiet if possible. Work out a daily
timetable that incorporates all your child's
needs and interests. Regularly viewed TV
programs, club activities and sport should
all be part of the timetable. Ultimately
they will need to manage their own
study and they can guide you in what is
helpful for them.

8. Practice organizational skills
In the first few weeks of high school
you might want to check with your
child that they have the right books and
equipment for the following day. You will
quickly encourage a good habit.

9. Discuss emergency and safety issues
Talk about these issues – including crossing
roads or taking essential medication –
simply and without emotion. Allow your
child to contribute their views. Find out
who the staff are at the school who can
help them on issues such as medication.

10. Let your child know that you trust
them and that they can trust you
Keep communication open about all your
child's experiences, and make sure they
know you're available if they need you.
