Moving to a new school is often a traumatizing experience. The student must go through the sometimes

arduous process of making new friends, while attempting to keep up with school and keep in touch with old

friends. There are many ways in which the school could help ease this process.

In order to make new students feel less anxious about their new surroundings, it would be beneficial for the

school to start a welcoming committee. Such a committee would include students from all age levels, who are

particularly friendly. The committee would organize small events during lunch hours and after school to help the

new student feel at home. For example, the committee could organize a lunch followed by a tour of the playground.

This would allow the new student to make new friends.

Schools should also train teachers on how to properly deal with new students. The first thing the teachers

should do is to attempt to seat the new student around others who will be a good influence on him/her. This is of

utmost importance, as a young student must be encouraged to socialize with smart, friendly students who have a

strong work ethic.

Furthermore, a teacher must ensure that the student has a firm grasp of all the topics being taught. It is

possible that the student's previous school taught different subject matter, or worked at a slower pace. The student

might need extra help to catch up with the rest of the students. Conversely, a new student might be more advanced

than the other students at his/her new school. If this is the case, the teacher must organize activities for the student

so he/she does not become disinterested in learning.

In sum, schools can greatly facilitate a student's arrival to their premises. By enlisting the help of the students

and properly instructing the teachers on how to deal with such situations, the student will feel welcome and at

home in his new environment.
