will tell you what you are going to do, and when.It consists of 5 parts:
- Class of the student counselor
You attend a lesson by a student counselor. The student counselor will tell you something about the upper cycle. You will be able to ask questions about the upper cycle or the lessons that come with it. - Workshops (for subjects you do not have yet)
You are going to do workshops conducted by teachers that teach in the upper cycle. These workshops are meetings in which you will get acquainted with the various subjects in an active manner, but also with the way subjects are taught in the upper cycle. - During regular subjects
For every subject that does not comprise a workshop, its teacher will give you information during regular hours. Thus the maths teacher will tell you about the difference between maths A and B. - Upper cycle facts
