Pressures of the year 6 to year 7 transition

The move from Year 6 to Year 7 is one of the first major transitions in a young person’s life — and it comes with pressure, uncertainty, and a lot of silent anxiety.

In this video, we explore how this change can impact:

  • A young person’s confidence and identity

  • Their ability to cope with new environments, routines, and expectations

  • The rise in peer pressure, emotional stress, and behavioural shifts

While it might seem like “just moving schools,” the emotional and psychological weight it carries is real — especially for those without a strong support system.

We provide guidance, stability, and a relatable role model for young people, helping them:

Build resilience

Improve self-awareness

Strengthen decision-making

Adjust to secondary school with confidence

This stage is a critical window for early intervention. Mentorship at this age can redirect futures, prevent poor choices, and remind young people that they’re not alone.

Confidence starts with connection.
