Top level engagement at Lurgan Youth Annexe with Dickson Primary School Year 6 class this morning.

Youth workers and teachers supported pupils on the topic of school transition. This process will be a journey for the pupils over the next year as we prepare them as a group for their move to post-primary school in September 2027.

Key learning outcomes achieved:
Improved level of peer support
Understanding of approaches to manage feelings and emotions
Development of individual decision-making skills
Teamwork and communication skills enhanced
Knowledge of the challenges and opportunities available in post-primary school
Partnership between local school and Armagh Banbridge Craigavon Area Youth Service
