Students in the Bluewater District School Board who are heading into secondary school for the first time have a special day of orientation activities on Tuesday.
'Link Crew Day' will be featured at all nine secondary schools for new Grade 9 students.
Senior students, who have received Link Crew Leader training, will welcome and mentor the incoming Grade 9 group at each school to help ensure a smooth transition and introduction to secondary school life.
Tuesday's activities focus on "breaking the ice", team building, resource sharing, and what to expect in a secondary school environment.
And because of Link Crew Day events, the first day of classes for those Bluewater District students entering Grade 10 and up will take place on Wednesday.
"We continue to be extremely proud of our Link Crew Day program in Bluewater, which has grown substantially over the years and positively impacted thousands of students and families by creating a memorable, enjoyable, and stress-free secondary transition experience," said Blair Hilts, the Bluewater Board's Learning Services administrator.
