 I have a few questions for everyone who went to secondary school on Orientation Day. 1. What did you do and how did you feel? (please answer below) kaTie_5: On my orentation day I was really nervous and scared at first. I didn't know what the people would be like, or think of me, and i was worried I would get lost because of the size of the school compared to primary school. At recess I stayed close to the area our bags were and with friends from primary school, but by I had made knew friends and felt really confident. I am in a form with only one person from my primary school and we weren't even like close friends, but i am happy with it that way because I have made really good new friends.

wc-Amelia-S: On Orientation day i was a bit scared because i didn't know anyone in my form and was worried about getting lost because it was so big! At recess i had a couple of people to play with but they were kind of leaving me out, so i tried to make new friends, i felt confident but once i nearly got up to the other kids i just backed down. Now im fine i have lots of new friends and know where evreything is.. so its great.

2.If you had another orientation day, what would you do differently? kaTie_5: I don't think I would have done anything differently. I just acted like myself and made friends with the people who liked me they way I am.

wc-Amelia-S: i would have tried to be more confident and just go up to people and say hello and not worry about what other people might have thought.

3. Can you give any tips to anyone who has an orientation day at secondary school coming up? kaTie_5: Just be yourself and make friends with people who like you for that. Don't follow friends and go to the school you like the best because most of the time you make new ones anyway. Be happy and be friendly to everyone! wc-Amelia-S: Be yourself and go talk to people even if you are a bit scared like i was, jus put a smile on you dial and have fun! Heres a few more questions
