I was scared too, but it's really nothing to worry about. My school'd orientation is pretty boring. You go in, you wait in line to get your stuff, you get your photo taken for your student card and then you leave.

They get shown around their secondary school and get acquainted with it

I had to take a placement test for math. My most hated subject! I was also given the option to take a world language test to see if I qualify for french 2 but I know i don't so I didn't take it. I'm most likely in Honors Algebra 1.
We didn't really get shown around, that happens more on our first day, because freshman start a day earlier.
And yea fox, I'll be fifteen in October.

Haaaa...orientation isn't so bad. You just go, meet everyone, yadda yadda yadda.
Man, its the AUDITIONS you need to worry about. I went to an Arts Secondary School, so I had to audition---there's nothing scarier then being called up to play your pieces in front of a panel of judges, and knowing they hold your career in their hands. That's scary.
But, with auditions and orientations, the trick is to go in like you're competent, capable, and cool, and everything just irons out. Just don't get cocky, and it all goes well. XD [awwe.. so itty bitty!]

Look up you will see....
They don't have orientation at the school I teach at, but they did at mine in Israel.

Then they expected to spell everything their way and know the books that they read

I came to my school after spending the first three years of second-level in another one, so my "orientation" was a whole year I spent not knowing where anything was.

I've heard of orientation, but neither of my schools (yes, two high schools) held one. We got a map, a schedule, and a pat on the back.
And the 12th were MEAN. XP

The only orientation-ish thing we have here are the colleges' open-doors days, where they open up kiosks for every formations for everyone to come and take a look.
The graphic design booth had cookies. It was an easy pick.
