    Programs for Schools

    Glen Eira Youth Services delivers programs in Glen Eira schools for local students.

    Moving Up Program

    Glen Eira Youth Services has delivered the highly successful Moving Up transition program to Glen Eira school students for the past fifteen years. The program equips students, with knowledge, information and tips and tricks to an easy transition from primary and secondary school.

    The Program will

    • Discuss students’ outlook for high school and explore the things they are worried and excited about.
    • Facilitate student led discussion about their expectations around high school versus what high school is really like.
    • Unpack expectations around homework and provide tools and tricks that will encourage organisation and planning.
    • Identify supports available to students in a high school setting, as well as in their wider community.
    • Create excitement around a new important stage of life.

    How the Program runs

    Youth Services will be providing 60-minute face-to-face sessions to Grade 6 students throughout Term 3 and Term 4.

    Moving Up is free for all schools within Glen Eira. However, capacity is limited and bookings are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Submit your enquiry now to avoid missing out.

    Take home resources

    The Preparing for Year 7 Checklist is a resource students can use to help prepare for their first day of high school. There are activities students can do autonomously or with family members to assist in managing nerves by feeling organised and prepared ahead of their first day. Students are encouraged to complete this over the summer school holidays.

    Moving Up Champions

    Glen Eira Youth Services (GEYS) invites young people who have recently completed the transition to high school to provide their insights into the formation of the Moving Up Program and materials. Youth Services will chronical the experience of the Moving Up Champions throughout their first year at high school, sharing their experience in GE News, as well as through the development of the Moving Up video, a resource provided to Glen Eira Primary schools.

    This Program will

    • Let Young People talk about their experiences going from primary school to high school
    • Create a video talking about common misconceptions of entering high schools and dispelling issues
    • Provide insight to Glen Eira Youth Services about current issues that Young People face in Glen Eira when moving into high school.
