Product Overview
The transition from primary school to high school is considered by many to be the most significant and challenging periods in a schooling career and can shape and influence someone’s life forever. We gave a diverse group of sixteen students from around Australia a camera to film the most important transition year of their lives – Year 7.
SERIES SYNOPSIS
The most highly anticipated year of a student’s life is also the one that can change the course of their adult psychology forever - the transition into Year 7. Psychologists have discovered that the way we navigate the change from 'Top Dog' to 'Small Fish' affects how successfully we navigate our entire lives, making the finding of new friends, dealing with new teachers and surviving puberty critically important. In My Year 7 Life, sixteen diverse kids from around the country were given cameras to document their transition from primary school to high school.
The series goes straight to the source, getting first-hand accounts from the kids as they navigate the monumental changes taking place during their first year of high school. Through their experiences we discover just how much homework parents and carers have to do to help the kids relieve the stress and anxiety around a year that everyone remembers as one of the hardest at high school.
