Secondary School Preparation Pack - Piccolini Pioneers

Secondary School Preparation Pack

Piccolini Pioneers

If your child is heading into Year 7 and you're not quite sure how to prepare them - beyond buying the stationery and hoping for the best - this pack was made for you.

The move from primary to secondary school is one of the biggest transitions a child will make. And while most families focus on the academic side, the children who settle in quickly are usually the ones who arrive with something harder to teach: confidence, independence, and a clear sense of what to expect.

This pack gives you everything you need to build that foundation — calmly, practically, and without adding more pressure to an already full plate.

What's inside

• A comprehensive 29-page guide covering the five areas that matter most in the lead-up to Year 7:
• Academic readiness — where your child should be in literacy and maths, and how to close any gaps before the year begins
• Study habits and organisation — the four practical systems that make the biggest difference in secondary school
• The parent support guide — how to help without doing too much, and what your child actually needs from you during this transition
• Confidence and emotional readiness — building the resilience and self-belief that underpin everything else
• Checklists and practical tools — ready to use with your child straight away, including a Year 7 Readiness Checklist and a personal preparation plan
• Also includes a simple at-home check-in activity for both literacy and maths - so you can get a clear picture of where your child is right now, without it feeling like a test.

This pack is for you if:

• Your child is in Year 6 and Year 7 is on the horizon
• You want to feel genuinely prepared, not just vaguely hopeful
• Your child is capable but could use more confidence or independence
• You're looking for a calm, structured approach that fits into real family life
