New Student
This group can be used for any age group of new students.
Session 1:
Goal: Introduce the group. Get to know each other.

Session 2:
Goal: Discuss fears of starting a new school.

Fear BoxEach student gets an index card. The students write a fear they have about starting in a new school. We put all the cards into the box. The counselor pulls out a fear. We discuss the fear and see if any group members share the same fears. This activity opens the door to good conversation.

Session 4:
Goal: Learn about their new school.

Welcome to our school!This session consists of the counselor answering the questions that were asked the session before. It gives the counselor time to get all the questions answered.
