A friendly, practical conversation for families preparing for the leap from Grade 7 to Grade 8. 

In this episode, we are joined by Alison Ogden, Associate Superintendent, Secondary, at the Vancouver School Board. Alison breaks down what to expect in secondary school, how routines and responsibilities shift and the small steps families can take now to help students feel confident and ready for the year ahead. 

We also hear from Andrew Fisher, a Grade 7 teacher at Laurier Elementary and Janet McCarron, the district resource teacher for secondary transition for some practical tips for students and their families.
