Stepping Stones - Starting Second-Level School in Ireland
 A new film and resource to help students make the transition to second-level school has recently been published by City of Dublin VEC. The film and accompanying teaching resource entitled Stepping Stones: Starting Second-Level School in Ireland was developed by CDVECs Separated Children's Service in order to prepare newly-arrived separated children seeking asylum, many of whom will have had limited experience of formal education in their countries of origin, for school life in Ireland. The DVD film may also be used with parents, introducing them to the second-level system and showing them what their young child may expect in school and can also be used with outgoing 6th class pupils and incoming First Years.
