Going Back to School T

he year has just started and many schools throughout the country have just opened their gates to welcome back new and old students to start school while others will be going a standard up. For others who have already learnt the ropes before, going back to school can be an exciting and long awaited moment while for some who are going for their first day at a “big school” nervousness and even a few tears might get in the way of enjoying the moment of starting school. However going back to school need not be a sad and daunting thing. Being well prepared for the new term should make the top of the list and Gazette gives you tips on how to help your child to be better equipped to start school. -

To ensure that transition from the holidays to education is more bearable, get your child into a routine. Talk to them about routines and get them into on as soon as possible as the best way for a student to adapt is to have a routine.

- Buy the tools the child might need for school as early as possible to encourage organization. There are several reliable stores where one can get stationery in town; Cna, Game stores, Pep, Choppies, Spar, Bala Books, Botswana Books Center, Shoprite are some of the store that usually have stationery ranging from rulers, mathematical instruments, books, pencils, pens and others which might be required for art classes and the like. - Encourage a healthy school life balance. Insist they join social clubs or sports groups as these can be positive during stressful academic periods and they also help your child get healthy. - Preparation for a new school year is a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. Concerns and questions about new

Made strong to last long

uniforms, school supplies, new teacher and/or new school, new expectations, can be stressful and even more so when it comes to the financing aspect. It is wise to set aside a budget for school expenses. Luckily, lists are usually sent out during the last term before the school holidays or can be found on specific school websites so that can be used as a guide for the budget. Have your child help shop and per-pack school supplies in his/her backpack and be sure to buy all necessary school gear in the first three months of school to ensure that your child is better prepared for the school year ahead.
