Before you start — read this first.
This checklist is a prompting guide — it's designed to help you (or your teen) think through what needs to happen before Term 2 starts, not just what you hope will happen.
If you close the page and come back, your ticks will reset. Work through it in one session, or take a screenshot of your progress before you go.
Only tick something when it's actually done — not when you've planned to do it, not when you mean to. Done means done.
Working through this alongside your teen is a great way to open the Term 2 conversation without it feeling like a lecture. Use each section as a prompt: what went well last term? What would you do differently?
If the full list feels overwhelming, that's okay — don't let it put you off. Pick two or three items that feel most relevant right now and start there. A few things done well beats a full list left untouched.
Ready? Work through each section below.
Take your time with each item. The more honestly you engage with it, the more useful it becomes.
