As summer winds down, unfortunately so do the long, lazy days of sleeping in and planning activities around your own relaxed schedule. Whether you’re starting Year 7 or about to embark on your final year, heading back to school can be a heady mix of excitement, relief, stress and nerves. And this year, not only will you be expected to adjust to a new timetable, new teachers and perhaps even a new school, you’ll also be faced with having to adjust to a brand ‘new normal’ - whatever that looks like. If you find yourself struggling to wrap your head around these big changes, remember that you are not alone.
