[Hand written text on screen:] What are the major differences between primary and secondary school for you?

Young Person 1: More opportunities definitely; a bigger range of subjects, subjects; more freedom and responsibility; just being in a bigger environment; and having to follow different school rules

Young Person 2: With Primary school the teachers had less pressure on us, about homework or just school work and High school we’re expected to do more and take responsibility for actions that we do.

Young Person 3: Mainly in Primary school you know everyone yeah, but you’re like the top, Grade six, you’re like don’t look at me like that Grade fourer, I’m in Grade six – don’t take me on.  

Young Person 3: But when you get to Secondary school you’re like a Freshmen, the ‘newbees’ everyone picks on you cause you’re the ‘newbees’ 

Young Person 4: I think the most major difference is probably the responsibility.  When you’re in Primary school they’ll always remind you so you know there is always something to back up on, but in High school it’s sort of like you have two reminders and that’s it 

Young Person 5:Well pretty much for myself, when I moved from Primary to Secondary school, just the changing of classrooms and the different environment, introduced to new people, a new group of people, socially you’re changing your groups and generally just a different environment, like learning environment.

Young Person 6: Well for me the major differences are that you get heaps of homework in Secondary school compared to Primary school, and also there are many different teachers that teach you in Secondary school, cause in Primary school there is only like one or two teachers.
