Transition to Secondary
Transition to Secondary
Moving from primary to secondary schooling is a symbolic act that we as parents celebrate, but sometimes in a bittersweet way. We recognise the child we have known is changing and that time will now speed up.
Our role as an R-12 college, is to make transition seamless, therefore comfortable enough so that by the time Year 7 arrives, students feel they know the secondary campus and their sense of 'belonging' is already beginning to establish a feeling of ease.
Students are given the opportunity to engage in lessons with the current staff and students at the Saint John's Campus.
Parents/Caregivers will be contacted in Term 3 the year prior to commencement regarding the transition process for incoming Year 7 students to the secondary campus. Orientation/Transition Days will be held in Term 4.
