Thrive Through Transition: Student Starter Pack
The Thrive Through Transition Student Workbook is an engaging, activity-based wellbeing resource designed to help girls feel confident, prepared and excited about moving to secondary school. Created by HerCommunity C.I.C., the workbook provides a safe space for reflection, self-discovery and personal growth, helping young people understand their feelings, build confidence and develop practical strategies for navigating change. It has been designed specifically for pupils in Year 5, Year 6 and the early stages of Year 7.
At the heart of the workbook is HerCommunity's recognisable HER Framework: Hear, Empower and Rebuild, which guides every activity, reflection and wellbeing exercise. Students follow a journey of understanding themselves, building confidence in their strengths and developing the resilience needed to embrace new experiences and challenges.
Inside, young people will find:
Confidence-building activities
Reflection exercises and wellbeing check-ins
Goal-setting and future planning tools
Growth mindset challenges
Friendship and belonging activities
Anxiety and worry management strategies
Strengths and self-esteem exercises
Practical transition planning resources
The workbook encourages girls to recognise that it is completely normal to experience a mixture of excitement, nerves and uncertainty when facing change. Through creative and evidence-informed activities, students are supported to understand their emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, strengthen resilience and celebrate their unique strengths.
Friendly, accessible and empowering, the Thrive Through Transition Student Workbook helps girls move into secondary school feeling more confident, connected and ready to thrive, because every young person deserves to be heard, empowered and supported to flourish during life's important transitions.
