Hi all.
My family and I are moving from Canada to the U.K. in August, just in time for my daughter to start sixth form. Everything’s sorted out with her future school and we’ll be in the country in time for her to register, so there’s no problem there.
Instead, the issue is she’s going to know nobody at her future school, and it’s really stressing her out. Her future school had an induction day for the future sixth formers, but that was in June, and we were unable to take a quick trip over to the U.K. during that time because she was busy writing her exams (Ontario high schools have students write their exams at the end of each semester).
The thought of having to start up conversation with people in her classes, who she thinks have already established solid friend groups, absolutely scares her.
There are plans for her to do a few extracurricular activities, so she will have opportunities to make friends outside of school, but she really wants to have friends at school.
If anyone has any tips on helping DD during this time, or any advice for her starting a new school where she knows nobody, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
