Year 6 to Year 7 Transition

The formal transition process from Primary to Secondary school begins early in Term 2 each year.

If you are uncertain about which secondary school to choose, we strongly encourage you and your family to visit secondary school open days, attend information nights or contact the school/s directly to make an appointment for a personalised tour. We advise all parents/carers to take these steps when choosing a primary school or secondary school for their child. At these tours and open days, you will be able to hear and see first-hand the programs offered and most importantly get a feel for the type of school it is and whether it would suit your child.
