PUT SIMPLYStudents are required to: Move from one
education system to another, adjust their behaviour, develop new ways of thinking and enter into new social relationships (INTO 2008)
Broadly speaking: Students experience better transition if they are prepared well and view the transition as an on-going process

SUBJECT CHOICE ?????Look at your strengths:~{ Are you good with your hands?~{ Are you musical?~{ Do you like drawing/painting?~{ Are you neat and careful?~{ Are you logical and methodical?~{ Do you have a flair for language –
reading, talking and writing?

Seven deadly sins of subject selection ………..1. “Only nerds do that Subject.”2. “That’s just a subject for girls/boys.”3. “None of my friends are doing that subject.”4. “I’ll do that subject because it looks
easy/like a doss.”5. “Even though I really hate it, I’ll do that
subject because I’ll need it to get into a particular course in college.”
6. “I’ll be made fun of if I choose that subject.”7. “It will be too hard and I’m not good
enough.”
