High School Readiness Group
Feel prepared, have fun, and make new connections!
Is your child about to start high school? Whether they’re excited, a bit nervous, or just curious about what’s coming next, our High School Readiness group is a great way for them to meet new friends and learn practical skills to set themselves up for a great year.
In this group, your child will join others their age who are going through the same transition. Together, they’ll play games, share stories, and learn skills like making new friends, reading their timetable, study tips, mindfulness, and self-advocacy. These activities are designed to help them feel confident and ready for high school.
If your child wants to feel prepared, have fun, and make new connections before their big move, this group is for them!
Program Structure
Facilitated by experienced therapists in a small group of up to 6 young people, your child will work with others to build confidence, learn new skills, and make friends.

FAQ
High School Readiness will be running as an NDIS “program of support”. Programs of support are a way of running groups over a set period of time. Everyone registered commits to attending the full group. Standard cancellation rules don’t apply so prices won’t change for you depending on who else attended on the day.
They’ll learn how to make friends, manage their time, handle worries, and feel safe and confident as they start high school.
Groups are kept small to make sure everyone gets personal attention and support.
Sessions are led by experienced therapists who understand the needs of young people.
The group is designed to be welcoming and supportive, with ice-breakers and breaks to help everyone feel comfortable.
You can access services if you have an NDIS plan, or if you want to fund your own services. We can also support you through the planning process if you do not have a plan already. Pricing includes 6 hours of direct time and required indirect time.
