It's a big deal moving to high school. At 11 or 12, students are used to the secure environment of their school, where all their friends are close by. Now they are about to set foot into a much bigger, unfamiliar place where there are lots of teenage kids rushing about….small fish in a BIG pond springs to mind!".
But it's not all bad you know. It's full of opportunities and adventures and Scripture Union's book It's Your Move! Is there to reassure children embarking on the next part of their educational journey, reminding them that God is always with them.
In the UK over 1 million students have benefited from the advice and guidance It's Your Move! contains and through this brand new Kiwi version of the book, students across New Zealand can benefit from the same great advice. The book can be used alongside of a school presentation that explores their fears and worries about their move to high school and gives sound advice that will help them make good, wise choices as they enter their teenage years.
It's Your Move! is a vital tool in helping students during an important time of change, but the effects last much longer than the weeks in between leaving one school and starting another.
Each book costs $2.99 or you can order a pack of 10 for only $20 ($2 each) by clicking here

The free It’s Your Move lesson outline can be used in schools receiving the It’s Your Move book. This outline can be used and adapted to suite any situation for example; a school assembly, class lesson or full school/syndicate presentation. It’s also really effective to use current high school students in the presentation.
Scripture Union can provide training and resources to support your church in leading the presentation in schools and this training will be offered this year as requested. From 2011 onwards we will also be running training days in main centres across New Zealand. We can also provide further resources (eg; sample information letters for schools) so you can make the most of the resource in your local community.
