What to expect in high school

High school brings new experiences and routines, including:

a larger school with more subjects, teachers and classrooms
a timetable with different lessons each day
moving between classrooms and carrying books and equipment
more independence and responsibility for homework and study
new friendships and opportunities to join activities and clubs.

Transition programs

We work closely with local high schools to help students feel ready. Transition to high school programs help Year 6 students get ready for Year 7. Activities may include:

orientation days and school tours
parent information sessions and meet the teacher events
subject tasters and classroom visits
peer support activities with older students.

Students, parents and carers can join these sessions to learn about daily schedules, uniforms, lunches and communication. If you need an interpreter, let us know.
