This is the PERFECT example of a year 6,into 7 transition day!! FIRST year 7 day,EXACTLY how ALL year 7s get shown around the school on their first day!!
It's been 18 years since my induction to year 7, and I remember every moment of it! Me and my friends got coffees from the machine and felt so grown up!! We thought the next 5 years was going to be like one big episode of Friends... Little did we know it'd be more like a crossover episode of Breaking Bad and Prison Break! Oh, and I remember the warning about the bells... What they didn't tell us, however, was that half the time, the teacher would be 10 minutes late... It was great fun going "That's an unauthorised absence, Miss, you're well late innit, Oi everyone, Miss is late! DETENTIOOOOOOOON!" The mid noughties truly were the glory days.
In mine, we get the timetable, but they also have this thing called "The honeycomb period" for year 7s, meaning they are allowed to be a maximum of 10 minutes late, they are allowed to use their phones to look at their timetable if they don't have the physical onr on them, the period lasts about 3 weeks, they also leave 10 minutes early
I don't remember when i started year 7 (considering it was 8 years ago), but i think my year just got thrown in the deep end and had to figure things out ourselves with the help of our crappie maps of the school. My secondary school was trash. We didn’t get a bell to tell us when our classes started or finished and we also didn't get any time between the end and start of lessons if we were really far away from our class or on the completely wrong floor we had to run like hell to our next lesson and hope we didn’t get caught running by the teachers or pray to the lord we got to the class room before our teacher did.
I go to a secondary school for kids with special needs (I have autism) and I remember my first day in year 7, I remember getting out of the taxi and walking into the school building and I was a bit lost and a teacher took me to my class and I found it easy to make friends due to the fact that some of them like the same stuff that I like (buses, washing machines etc) and luckily I don't need to wear uniform and we don't have detention and we don't have homework either.

ngl i wish i didnt have to wear uniform i learn way better in my own clothes i can focus better because i dont feel like im being forced to learn. also i wish i had teachers who would yell at me every 5 seconds for stimming (asd here too)

I have to go to school a day before the new year 7 as i was in a special needs class and the teachers are very proud of me so im moving into a normal class.
I started off my transition day being sorted into forms (got the one nobody else wanted hh); went to our form rooms for our FT to introduce himself to us; for each of us to then introduce ourselves to the person next to us; to then get the seating plan solidified & be given our timetables (still had my disintegrating one in the bottom of my backpack by the time I'd finished) and planners. Afterwards, our FT toured us around the main parts of the school (I distinctly remembering having had to line up in silence and in a straight line along many a wall), followed us having some pretty unmemorable canteen food, and a sending off lecture in the assembly hall. And ofc we had to be prim and proper in our school uniform, without breaking any clothing/ styling rules. Always forgot- for the first couple of weeks or so, teachers were obliged to let us out a few minutes before each bell (even the lunch one) so that new Year 7s finding their way would be able to avoid the worst of the crowd.
For me you got your time table on the first day of year 7 and there about a 40% chance it would change every half term and it would change fully every term
trust me it’s not as bad as u think. just make friends on the first day and make sure you know your lessons are where they are😅😅 on my first day i got lost like 5 times 😭😭 trust me that won’t happen to u i was so dumb then lol
Dont worry, year 7 isn’t that bad (i only found it bad because it was lockdown). Just dont act like you own the school, actually try in classes and you should be good!
you had five minutes to get to your next lesson?! we have none. you just end up being late unless your teacher lets you out early spoiler alert: they never let us out early
We went with everyone else on a Wednesday and we missed period 1 and 2 then we did 3-7 but period 4 we went by ourselves and was chaos. Nowadays it is not and easy to get to class

I laughed so hard 😂😂😂. When you say: so do you that building with the massive R on it ?
Jack: A BLOCK?
Caroline: no it’s not a block..
Very relatable
You have/had 5 minutes we were lucky to have 3 minutes and if we were 0.00000001 second late to our lesson we would get an hour after school
They forgot to mention that the older kids will not talk to you and if you talk to them then you "have a crush on them'
TRUUEEEEE
I’m in year 7 rn! ❤
I never actually had this :( my orientation was during first and second period
I’m going to year 7 next year in September
Im starting year 7 in a month
Me too
Wellahi I am a male and a boy I don't wanna say wellahi but ok
I remember they got rid of them when I was in year 8 so I never even got to enjoy an extra day off at the start of the year
why is this so accurate
For me, we had our orientation day at year 6, (IB school) I found it complex, but I got used to it layer on.
When I say layer I ment later. Sorry autocorrect these days lol

I'm going to my year 7 taster day next week!!! 😋
for me we just go on the same day as everyone else and then straight to class no tour then the next class then the next class, just regular school day
I remember being in year 7 and every other year was full of the most unsympathetic people ever
In the UK do you have to take entrance exams because we had to in Ireland
I hated the one less day of summer 😦
why is this so accurate-
I started year 7 a few months ago and this is so accurate
I’m in year 7 it started out really good but started to go bad

Be prepared for next year. Year 11 is kinda hard
I'm excited
My secondry school let me have my extra day of summer holidays
😮😮😮😮😮
The day before everyone else is so fr
I got to go to the school a few months before I moved to yr7
5 MINUTES? I HAVE 2-

Omg why is every school the same 😭😭😭😭
Bro this was similar to when i did my taster lessons 😂 fact: I am in year 7
so relatable
IS EVERY SCHOOL THE SAME OR SOMETHING.
Our bell is music
I was so worried about this day… I hated it
I started Y7 in Sep 2023 and thins basically it Beautiful!! 😍
Whelp, I'm looking forward to year 7 i guess...
Don’t worry, you’ll be fine and you’ll get used to the slightly insane teachers…

Wait in Scotland we have 1 minute to get from class to class
U guys are lucky 😂
I still got lost and had to get a year eight to bring me to my class after this tour day lmao
i skived most of year 7 at the start of the year and if i ended up having to turn up i would say "couldnt find my classroom" which was half true
I only got 3 mins in lesson change overs. At one point I was the only person in class for 3 mins bc there was such a big hold up in the corridors.
you had five minutes to get to your next lesson?! we have none. you just end up being late unless your teacher lets you out early
spoiler alert: they never let us out early
Question what school is that first tennis court picture from?
My school doesn’t have a bell 😭
I got my first period on my first day in year 7 🙃
We went with everyone else on a Wednesday and we missed period 1 and 2 then we did 3-7 but period 4 we went by ourselves and was chaos. Nowadays it is not and easy to get to class
