Transition Info

School Tours

The Pre-school Transition Sessions help prepare children for the move from pre-school to school. The program assists them in becoming familiar with the school environment and in developing a closer relationship with peers and the Prep teachers.

Our school offers transition sessions for prospective pre-schoolers and a range of parent information sessions where staff and school support agencies present relevant material to support parents in preparing their children for school. It is also an opportunity to meet other new families joining our school.

Outline of Prep Transition dates for 2024 Preps will be announced in late Term 3.

Year 7 Transition

As part of the transition from Year 6 to Year 7, students in government secondary schools participate in an orientation day. All government schools hold this orientation day on the same day.

At the orientation day, your child may:

• tour the school
• meet teachers and ask questions
• find out about the dress code
• learn what they will be doing in the Secondary Section
• meet other students.

For more information about Year 7 transition days, contact us on the number below.

During Year 6, your child’s school and our school may have increasing contact sharing information and the Transition Statement prepared by the primary school, student and their family and the Student Support Groups including representation from both schools may meet.

We will require information release forms to be signed and will need copies of any relevant reports to enable funding applications to be successfully completed.

Interschool Transition

Parents/guardians will be informed of their child’s new teacher close to the end of the school year.
