Starting school is exciting and as a time of change it can have its challenges but it doesn't need to be scary.  Every child is unique but we find that parents play a big role in students' confidence when starting school.
Some different ways you could help your child feel confident about starting school are:
If you (as a parent) feel nervous try not to let it show
Tell them good things about school
Make sure you keep our Orientation Days free in your diary so your child can start to feel comfortable about school
Get them to try on their uniform and give lots of compliments
