[TEACHER TALKS] Moving into Secondary

In this edition of Teacher Talks, Joy Moore, Lower Secondary Coordinator, continues this month’s theme of transitions by explaining the transition from Year 6 to Year 7 and the changes that take place for our students as well as advice for parents on helping students adjust to a new environment.

Transitions, or periods of change in any aspect of life, are always challenging; the move from Primary to Secondary school is no different. The Y6 students will be embarking on the next stage of their educational journey in August and we have had a number of activities and events to support this process. These have been spread throughout the second semester and have included spending the day in Secondary, joining a number of Secondary activities like the ‘Hang Out’, and attending classes in subject-specific classrooms in Secondary. Despite being on the same campus, the Year 6 students rarely venture to areas of the Secondary school, so it's very helpful to become familiar with these areas before August.
