Dalziel High School Transition

Hello Primary 7s!

 

If you are going to Dalziel High School soon then this post is for you!

 

Dalziel High School (@DalzielHigh) | Twitter

Normally, at this time of year you would be seeing the teachers from Dalziel regularly.  They would be visiting us at Ladywell and we would be visiting them at Dalziel.  You would also normally go on your visits to get to know the school building, meet your new classmates, new teachers and find out a bit about your new classes.  Since we cannot do that just now, Dalziel have created a virtual transition programme.

 

Please go to the Dalziel Twitter page to watch the videos from Mr Birch and Mrs DiMambro.  @DalzielHigh

Then go to the Dalziel Website where you can check it for regular P7 to S1 updates, on the P7 tab on the home page.

https://www.dalzielhigh.org.uk/

 

This is a very exciting time for you all.  It is also strange and I know that you will have worries.  Please make sure you talk to your other P7 friends about going to secondary school.  You will realise that they feel the same way.  I would love to help you in your transition too.  Please come and say hello on Teams.
