🌟 Moving Up to Secondary School 🌟
The transition from primary school to secondary school is a big milestone. It’s completely normal to feel excited, nervous, worried, or even a mix of all three emotions. New teachers, a bigger school, making new friends, and adapting to new routines can sometimes feel a little daunting.
Remember, you're not alone. Thousands of young people make this transition every year, and there is plenty of support available to help you feel more confident and prepared. Taking time to learn about what to expect, talking about your worries, and knowing where to find help can make a real difference.
If you or your child would like some extra support, these resources may help:

Kenya Expedition Update.
Camp Muhaka has been a real highlight of the expedition over the last week. The team has transformed a house for a local family, decorated the local primary school, and spent time interacting with members of the local community. Daily football matches with children from the village quickly became a favourite activity, while visits to the bustling market provided opportunities to haggle for souvenirs and gifts. They have also tried their hand at making chapatti and enjoyed a recreational day at the beach. It has been an unforgettable week of service, cultural exchange, and fun. ... See MoreSee Less
