As part of Belonging Plus+ The NBSS Transition and Transfer Programms first year students are explicitly taught specific rules and routines which help to define for them what behaviours are required in different settings in their new school. NBSS team members work with schools in the assessment, planning, design and implementation of transition and transfer programmes and induction programmes that take account of the social, emotional and personal aspects of transition, as well as the learning and thinking skills needed to succeed at second level.
