"I felt worried about getting lost or not making any friends.
Now I feel relieved that I know what high school will be like."  

Sophie ~ Year 6 Student

Adjusting to high school takes time, guidance and skills

It takes many children their full first year to manage all the different aspects of high school.
Think of it like a series of waves to navigate.

If your child is confident with this 'first wave' of high school, fantastic, but don't mistake it for being fully settled in.

They'll need more complex skills and strategies for the next waves!

And without strong skills in areas such as organisation and time management, they can get stuck.
(Yes, even children who achieved well in primary school can get stuck.)

That's a lot!
And because progress takes time, we give them a
  full year's membership to High School Hub.

When a question, challenge or problem pops up (and they will!) 
they can go to a module to get information, advice and action plans to handle it. 

They can move confidently forward without getting stuck.

Parent of  Year 6 Student

I believe it is a very valuable program."

The anxieties behind it disappeared

Kelly Gibbs, Teacher & Parent of Year 6 Student

"My daughter was quite anxious over the high school experience. She found this enormously helpful and said it explained all the questions she had. She now feels that high school will be a very positive experience. Thank you for doing this for our young people.
As a high school teacher, we can see the difference this makes."

Parent of a Year 6 student

No longer worried about high school

FAQ's

Hit each down arrow to see the FAQ answer.

Who is the High School Hub for?

The Hub is specifically for students (and their parents) for the year before, during and after starting high school. 

We take a step-by-step approach to explain all the aspects of high school so they can be confident and prepared. Each of the 20 modules addresses a common high school issue.

Parents can use The Hub, too for understanding and explaining strategies, and to support and encourage your child.

Can my child use the Hub on their own?

Absolutely ... it was designed for this. Children can easily go through modules on their own because they’re targeted right at their age level. They can go at their own pace and explore the modules in any order, as often as they like for as long as they're a member.

You can learn from the Hub together, or your child can fly solo. But it's an extra advantage when you become familiar with the helpful routines and strategies so you can support and encourage them. 

Is this just a lot of boring worksheets?

No! Jenny designed the The Hub with the same approach as her successful student workshops. And that is to engage the children because when they're interested, they participate more easily, remember information and take action. 

Each module has clear, concise information with images, videos, interactive games and colour to keep their attention. No long, boring, pointless worksheets that just look like more work to do!

And because children learn in a variety of ways, we present information in a variety of ways: from animated videos and games to checklists, 'how to' guides, infographics, action plans and much more.

Can my child interact with others in the Hub?

No. The membership site is a closed system and doesn't allow users to interact with other users.

Jenny has advised the Australian government on cybersafety issues as a member of the ‘Teachers and Parents Advisory Group on Cybersafety’ and takes your child’s safety online seriously. 

As most children are under 13 years old when they transition to high school, we do not provide opportunities to interact with other Hub users. We also do not offer social media options for children, which is in line with social media sites who restrict children under 13 from setting up accounts.

You must be 18 years or older to purchase access to High School Hub, and to join the private ‘High School Hub’ Parent Facebook group. 

Login details are given to teachers and parents who purchase High School Hub, who may then share those logins with their child/students. 

High School Hub modules are specifically designed to be used by the students, but no one under age 13 may provide any information to or on the Website without consent of their parent. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without consent of their parent.

You can read our privacy policy here: 

https://www.highschoolhub.com.au/privacy-policy/

Feel free to ask us any questions at [email protected]

What if my child has a question?

We love questions! 

We take the privacy of children seriously, so we don't correspond directly with them. But we have other options which keep parents in the loop ...  

1.  We encourage parents and teachers to become part of our community by joining the 'High School Hub' Facebook group. There you can ask Jenny questions for yourself and on behalf of your child.

2.  Parents and teachers can also send children's questions to: [email protected] from the email address you used to purchase the Hub. (Along with their question, if you wish, you can include a first name and state e.g: John, NSW). Your child can look for their question/answer in the ‘Ask Jenny’ module, which is updated fortnightly.

(N.B. We don't add duplicate questions, but will let you know if the answer's already in the module.)

3. If you have any general membership questions, tech support or login issues, parents can email us at: [email protected]

How long will it take to get access?

After a parent or teacher purchases, your login and access information will be sent to the email address you provide. Once you’ve logged in, you’ll be taken directly to the ‘High School Hub Dashboard’.  

From there, you and your child can easily navigate to all the modules.

You should have access within 15 minutes. 

For any login issues, please contact [email protected]

Do you offer refunds?

Due to the digital nature of the product and the fact that it contains instant downloads and materials, refunds are not available. 

But if you have any issue, please email us so we can work with you to resolve it. We want the best for you and your child.

Please ask us any questions at [email protected]

How much reading is involved?

Some reading … but definitely not long slabs of information.
We know children won't search through a load of waffle to get to the important bits that make a difference. 

So you won’t find long-winded explanations … just clear, conversational language targeted to your child’s age group. We explain useful strategies in simple ways so they can understand and implement.

Will my child take action on what they learn?

We give them their very best shot with a 6 step action plan at the end of most modules.

For some modules, no extra action is required. Your child gets the benefits from the information and doing the included activities.

And when more is involved, we keep it simple! We know that if something appears too difficult, most students will choose the ‘do nothing’ option.

Children and teens won’t involve themselves in something unless they can see it has advantages for them ... they need to ‘buy in’ to what’s in it for them. So, in all the modules, we’ve woven the key ‘buy-in’ points for how the information and strategies will directly assist them when they take action. 

Our simple, step-by-step approach helps children get results as quickly and easily as possible.

How will this make a difference for my child?

We know these strategies work because we’ve witnessed the difference they’ve made for thousands of students and their parents in schools across Australia.

We’ve heard from the parents, teachers and children themselves about children who are less anxious for their transition to high school. And children who are now more confident and better at organising, managing their time, coping with change, building positive friendships, handling homework and assessments, striving to achieve their goals to name just a few areas.

But it’s not just access to this information that works. It’s our unique system, based on Jenny’s 30+ years of teaching and research with more than 1600 students transitioning to high school. We know how to target what students need, in a way that engages them to take advantage of what they learn.

For how long do we have access to the Hub?

You have unlimited, 24/7 online access for 12 months from the date of purchase. 

That’s plenty of time to support your child through their important first year of high school. They can revisit the information in the modules as often as they need, and have time to put strategies in place. If a challenge pops up (as they do!) they can go to a module and get information, advice and action plans on how to handle it.

As we add new resources into the Hub, you also get full access to these updates. (We’ll send you an email alert.)

Once your 12 months end, you can purchase another year of access to the Hub if you wish. 

Do you offer support for parents, too?

The Hub is aimed at students, but can easily be implemented by a parent with or for their child. In fact, when you encourage your child with these strategies, you’ll help them experience an even greater degree of long-term success.

Extra Support for parents: 

1.   Private High School Hub Facebook Group - when you receive your Hub login details, parents get an invite to join. It’s a place for parents (not children) to connect, support, and encourage each other with all things related to the high school years. And Jenny pops in to answer parents’ questions and direct you to resources that can help.

2.   Parent Portal on High School Hub - coming soon we'll have a parent only section of the Hub. There'll be separate logins so you'll have access to a range of parent only information, products and webinars.

Where can I see the terms and conditions?

Please read the terms of use before you purchase.

You can read terms here:   https://www.highschoolhub.com.au/terms-of-use/

And our privacy policy here:   https://www.highschoolhub.com.au/privacy-policy/

Please look through all the details before purchase and ask us any questions at [email protected]

Can a school purchase this to use with their Year 6 and Year 7 students?

Definitely! Hit the button below, fill in the form and we'll get back to you with details on how to sign up for special school rates for whole year groups.
