5 Secrets to
School in 2025
Live Webinar
Is whether or not you enjoy school based on luck?
Or can you actively make choices and decisions which will greatly improve your chances of having a positive experience?
In this online version of one of my most popular school talks
I go through the five things students can do to have a more positive experience in upper primary and high school.
From choosing supportive friends and avoiding drama cyclones to allowing yourself to be ‘seen’ and understanding the difference between bullies and jerks ... this material is especially useful for students in years 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Included is a replay of my recent online webinar as well as access to my online course where I go in depth on each of the secrets (plus a bonus 6th secret!). A copy of the replay will also be sent to you.

THE REVIEWS ARE IN!
Hi Rebecca,
I am writing to thank you. My daughter and I watched your webinar before her first day on Monday starting at XXXXXX, my first high schooler. She is the only girl from her primary school attending. She is a super nice kid who is quiet but friendly. She is the nice girl who sits in the group, but no one thought to invite anywhere.
The first day of school was awful. She said, “I have no friends, I ate by myself, I don’t know anyone”. This was devastating to me, especially with the end of last year. I completely kept it together for, her told her tomorrow is a new day. Later I locked myself in my bedroom and cried for her.
After I got over myself and pulled myself together, we discussed a game plan for today. We discussed things from your webinar which was so very practical. All the things that we think they can do automatically but don’t.
She came home today, chatty as ever, has met new friends and was so excited to talk about it. HOORAAAY! Tonight she was messaging a friend. A friend said how they met no new friends at their new school.
She replied with advice: “Make sure you pick the friendliest face and approach them, and look friendly, find a small group of girls of just two or three – it really works!"
I couldn’t help myself but to share this with you and thank you for the wonderful practical guidance you are giving, so very helpful and heart-warming!
Keep spreading the guidance and love!

Loved the practical tips- she’s even said she used one of your tips today to deescalate the drama cyclone and it worked!! So good to have another ‘neutral’ person to hand out the advice. Thanks!!!"

"Thanks for your amazing content Rebecca, my daughter has been having friend troubles this year so purchased your webinar bundle. Tonight we sat together and started watching the friend reset - she said “this lady is really good” Thank you for giving us tools to open conversations about healthy friendships. This is SO important for our kids "
AWESOME PARENT
"We really enjoyed this too, thank you, it was brilliant for my daughter who is about to start high school. I loved the way you gave lots of relevant examples.
Beforehand, she said she didn’t need it as she’s good at making friends, but afterwards admitted it was really useful. Even caught my hubby listening in for tips "
AWESOME PARENT
"Bec, this was seriously so great, super practical and like you wrote it specifically for my 12 year old starting secondary school next week!
I loved that you spoke directly to our children - ‘this is what I want for you’ and provided really accurate examples of opportunities to put your wise words into practice. Just brilliant. THANK YOU for creating incredible resources for us and our kids. I feel like I have solid scaffolding for what’s to come "
AWESOME PARENT
"My almost 12 year old daughter attended your webinar this morning and this is what she texted me:
"That webinar was the most useful and informing thing ever! Thank you so much for booking me in. I have learnt so much from just 20 minutes and I'm not as scared to go into high school anymore. Thank you mum "
Thankyou for making XXXX feel this way."
AWESOME PARENT
"I watched this tonight with my son (11). It was absolutely amazing. The practical one liner ideas for realistic mean scenarios, the way you spoke as if their problems aren’t smaller than what adults might experience in the workplace.
You held his attention the ENTIRE time and I’m hoping he takes away some of the messages. He has low self-esteem. Negative or mean comments really land on him. I was so happy to have listened."
