A5 Starting Secondary 'International School' Comic: SECONDARY SAYS, "unique, lively, pupil-friendly way to inform families about transition"

An A5 illustrated (with drawings based on your school) Transition Comic that introduces students to starting in your school.

Drawings of your school

We can illustrate:

Your Year 7 class...
Or different Year Groups...
Or have a mixture of Year Groups in one Comic, so your Comic covers all school years and can be used for any student joining in any year.

Bespoke

The Storybook is totally bespoke and will show how your school works, illustrate your specific building and uniforms, reflect your school procedures and way of teaching and showcases the benefits of attending your school.

Experiencing your school

We highlight the story of two or three fictional new students who join your school and how they experience the first few days, including how to get to school, what to put in their school bag, what a school day looks like, how you will help them settle in, uniform info and top tips from current students, etc.

These Transition Comics help allay fears and explain what happens at school.

Send to families

To aid with transition, the Transition Comics are given to families either via a web link or as a hard copy, usually five to six weeks before students join your school.

Free updates forever

As we provide free updates forever, text can be changed at a later printing or web update...offering excellent value for money.

Online and print

Upon completion - and your approval - of your Transition Comic, we will provide you with:

A web-ready pdf that you can place on your website.
A digital ‘flipbook’ which can be placed on your website and accessed by parents like an e-book. See an example here.
Should you also want printed copies, we will give you a ‘press-ready’ pdf with printer’s marks etc, which you would simply hand over to a local printer. We will also recommend paper type and weight, so that you have a quality printed document.

Pupil Prospectus: marketing the school

The Transition Comics can also be used to market your school. They can be re-branded as 'Student Prospectuses' and used alongside other marketing materials. See here a bespoke 'Student Prospectus' for an international secondary school.

Other options

We also have an A6 Transition 'Pocket Guide' Comic (examples here), and a larger A4 Transition Comic (examples here).

These Starting School Storybooks and Comics are a fantastic, family-friendly transition and marketing tool for International Schools. Stoneworks Education ‘storyboarded’ the main worries that children have when starting in our school and reflected these concerns within the character experiences. This unique approach helps children to better understand their emotions, better deal with starting in school and also get them excited to make the transition.

They also illustrate your school, your uniform and even the teachers if needed.

Stoneworks Education were extremely easy to work with. They were always quick to communicate and the process of developing the books was hassle free.

Hosted as digital flipbooks, links can be emailed to parents for them to share as an e-book and read with their children. We may also have a few printed out to go in our admissions office for any families that tour the school. They can also be included with adult prospectuses – as a student prospectus - to help market the school.

They are an absolutely unique, meaningful and family-friendly way to improve transition and market the school. I'd recommend all International Schools contact Stoneworks Education for their own Starting School Storybook or Comic.
