There were a couple of induction days - they really helped because you got to meet the teachers, you got to meet all the people in your class and you got a taste of life in secondary school.
Getting to pick a group of four friends that I wanted to be in my class helped too, but I only picked one.
In the first week we got taken around the school by the prefects. That helped a lot.
Now I am enjoying secondary school a lot, I use the school library loads and I am starting to find my way around.
The only thing that I am still getting used to is having lots of different teachers.
My advice to people moving up would be:
- Don't believe all the rumours you hear
- Don't think that just because you are in a different class from a friend that you will not see them again
- Try to make some new friends; don't just stick with the friends you've got."
