Just take the usual stationery(pens, pencils, ruler etc). Take a folder to put in any handouts you may get. Take a notepad as you aren't usually given exercise books in sixth form. Your first lesson of each subject you're taking will probably be just an introductory talk. Not sure if any of this is really useful. Is there something you're particularly worried about?

I start Tuesday 6 and I'm worried so any advice would be good

I was dreading going into year 12 last year, i knew about two people going to college and no one took my subjects. Be prepared for the ice breakers, think of some interesting things to say, even if they are lies and try not to look desperate if your trying to make friends, they need to cone naturally, i met my best friend on the first lesson of law, my other one took about 2 weeks.

In law it was name one fun fact about someone on your table and share it with the group so they can guess who it is about.

We didn't do anything else in other subjects, it was just dead awkward because no one was speaking. But I'm that sort of person who makes a witty comment about the awkwardness :biggrin:

. I'm sure you'll be fine, just try and get involved.

I've got to do it again this year, because my college decided it was a good idea to mix up the classes :colone:

It's like that in most places, one tip, don't get to class really early, but get there early enough (about 2 minutes) so you get a decent pick of seats. Because trust me on the first day you'll get lots and lots of attention when your searching for a seat :biggrin:

I think it's really important to realise how much a subject demands of you and make sure you do your work for that subject, and realise pretty early on if you want to keep that subject or do another one instead.
Don't procrastinate, find that drive to get the work done at a designated time so that it doesn't all pile up.
I guess the most important part is, find it within you to enjoy that subject, and let friendships grow naturally. Don't get too upset if things don't work out, and don't seek a relationship - if one happens, it'll flow naturally.
