High School Transitions Toolkit

We know a smooth transition sets students up for success. We have designed a transitions toolkit for high school students preparing to leave school. It focusses on important aspects to consider when looking at college, university, or employment, such as: applying, funding, housing, learning support, communities, wellbeing, and building a support network.

Support in College or University

Colleges and Univesrities are very supportive places, but we know sometimes it can be hard to navigate. Each institution has their own support teams, named contacts, and webpages dedicated to care experienced people.

Thinking of leaving? Need a break?

Students may find that during their studies, they feel unable to study temporarily. They may wish to take some time away from their studies, and may wish to pick up where they left off once they are ready to return to their course. They may also be able to maintain their bursary during this time. This is known as an ‘interruption of studies’, or a ‘leave of absence’.
