It’s Your Move! is our exciting transition programme and book aimed at helping students prepare for life in High School.

Selling over 3500 books in its first print run and delivering the programme to over 800 school students last year, churches are already seeing how It’s Your Move! serves as a tool to help them build links with their local schools. Relationships can start with a church (or group of churches) buying and giving out the books at their local primary/intermediate schools, opening doors to further connections and growing friendship.

“An invaluable aid to all New Zealanders approaching high school” – Colin Prentice (former CEO of WVNZ & High School Principal) 

“It’s Your Move is a great introduction to facing some of the challenges a 12 or 13 year old will come across when transitioning to high school” - Bex Belworthy (Youth Pastor – Ranui Baptist)

“As part of the health curriculum we are required to cover issues that this programme addresses. I have no hesitation in recommending this programme to other schools”- Mr D Latimer (Intermediate School Principal)

In addition to sponsoring the books churches can also with the help, training and support of Scripture Union, lead It’s Your Move! assemblies, lessons, or school presentations in the schools towards the end of the school year. These additional resources and Information about how you can be trained to use these free additional resources is available on our website.

The material used has been adapted with the help of Kiwi teachers, students and educational professionals for the New Zealand context from the highly successful It’s Your Move! programmes that have run in schools throughout the UK, Europe and Australia for several years and the books have sold well over a million copies worldwide.
