MAY SNAPSHOTS ARE ON THE TOPIC OF MANAGING CHANGE AND SCHOOL TRANSITIONS

Change is a natural, expected part of life. But that doesn‘t mean it‘s easy. While some people thrive on change, most experience some level of discomfort around transitions.  And some people really struggle when adjusting to a new situation.

Students transitioning to secondary school will benefit greatly from having a growth mindset. The primary way a growth mindset helps students is by leading them to tackle new challenges with the positive belief that they can achieve what they put their minds to. These students typically seek out, take on, and overcome difficult challenges. They are more open to valuable feedback, which can be very advantageous both in an academic and professional world. 

In contrast, those with a fixed mindset may shy away from those complex tasks and challenges for fear of being incapable or not living up to the intellect required to excel.

This poster demonstrates the difference in thinking between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.

Friends can help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. Friends prevent isolation and loneliness while increasing a sense of belonging and purpose. 

Friends also play a significant role in promoting overall health. Adults with strong social connections have a reduced risk of many significant health problems. 

As students mature and move on in life, this poster reminds them of importance of maintaining social connection and friendships.
