We are experts in school transitioning. We have moved our evidence-based programme online to continue to facilitate parents and teachers that want to support their 6th class pupils as they school transition into 1st year.
The School Transitioning, Wellbeing and Me Workshop will look at the elements of wellbeing and each student will be empowered in developing their own resilience skills to help them on their journey into secondary school and third level.
"I just finished the transition programme with my 6th class. Having taught 6th Class for several years this was hands down the best course to prepare them on their journey. Well Done"
"Ghlac daltaI Gaelscoil Riada páirt i gcúrsa aistriúcháin nextstepforward don chéad uair le linn an tréimhse dúnadh scoile 2020 nuair nach raibh Rang a sé fiú ar scoil. Chabhraigh sé go mór leis na daltaí le linn an tréimhse dúshlánach seo agus bhraith siad níos muiníne faoin méanscoil théis an chúrsa.Táimid ag súil go mór roimh an chúrsa a dhéanamh arís i mbliana i 2021.
Tacaíonn ábhair an cúrsa aistriú scoile nextstepforward go mór leis haistriú an dalta ón mbunscoil go dtí an iarbhunscoil. Cuidíonn ábhair an chúrsa leis na daltaí eolas a fháil ar na mothúcháin a bhaineann leis an aistriú seo agus faigheann siad léargas cuimsitheach ar saol na meanscoile. Thar aon ní eile, cuireann sé iad ar a gcompord maidir leis an aistriú. Molaim go mór an cúrsa seo agus tá sé iontach go bhfuil ábhar an chúrsa ar fáil i nGaeilge."
"C***** really got loads out of your two day course. It’s has opened C***** up and he’s talking about secondary school now something he hasn’t done yet! So thank you for that."
“I liked the workshop structure. It was a good mix of everything- working together, by ourselves, the videos were very good. I learned how to take care of my own wellbeing”
“It was really creative. It was a really nice way to learn about wellbeing. I thought how you did the timetable was good. It was nice to know that the others were feeling the same as me about going to secondary school”
“Many thanks Dorothy for your presentation and interactive lessons in our school last week. The children were really engaged in the workshop and the opportunity to identify and discuss their stresses in life. They seemed to be surprised to learn that so many of them have similar difficulties and we were surprised to learn so many didn’t talk about their worries with others. It was a great opportunity for the children to open up, identify and discuss their mental well being. A very important topic in today’s world! Thank You."
"Dorothy has delivered a wide variety of workshops for teachers and SNAs in Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre over the past academic year (2019/2020). The feedback from the participants has been excellent and all of her workshops have been very well attended, with most of them quickly booking out. That is testimony to the quality of her presentations and the relevance of her workshops to the work of teachers and SNAs in schools."
"Thank you! The two days were very informative and hopefully will serve to lessen the stress of those first few weeks in secondary school. O**** found it very helpful. Even if he takes just a few key points from the two days it will be a big help during the transition. We will all be using the triangle breathing!"

"T*** found the workshops excellent and is delighted and thankful for them. Thanks from me also."
"The two workshops were fantastic. Thank you Dorothy"
"Just to say a huge "thank you" for those seminars you provided our 6th class girls. Excellent feedback from all."
I thought the course was excellent. It was very easy to follow, and I like the way the content was split into different sections. It’s a very useful classroom resource. I also like the colours you have chosen for each slide/oral presentation. It was bright, easy on the eye and the class didn’t get bored or frustrated by any of the visuals. The course sounded like you were speaking to students rather than recording something. All in all, I thought it was brilliant.
