TRANSITION PLANNING DAY 2023 – FRIDAY 29th NOVEMBER – STUDENT FREE DAY 

A reminder that Friday, 29th November, is a student free day, allowing our staff time to consider the broad range of data (information!) about their new classes. We will begin the day with a training session for staff on how to best access the many data sets available, and how to interpret and manipulate this into useful groupings that make for easier planning of targeted, differentiated work for the students. Over the day we will then hold team meetings and allow for planning time, so that we have a smooth start to the Transition Program commencing Monday 2nd December.

TRANSITION PROGRAM – MONDAY 2nd December to FRIDAY 13th December

On Monday 2nd of December, we commence the 2025 Transition Program. On this day we officially commence our 2025 academic program with students moving to the next year level. Specifically, this entails two weeks for Year 7 into 8 and Year 8 into 9; one week of classes plus camp (Camp dates - 9th to the 12th of December) for Year 9 into 10; and one week (Monday 2nd November to Friday 9th December) for Year 10 into 11 & Year 11 into 12.

We hope our students are excited about starting their new courses and expect them to settle in quickly on day one. Senior students are expected to take careful note of the preparatory work set for the holiday break and ensure they understand and complete it in preparation for the start of Term One in 2025. 

While the academic nature of the Transition Program is important, it also gives staff and students a chance to build strong social and emotional bonds that will carry over into the new school year and beyond. 

My thanks go to our House, Programs and Pathways teams, and above all our Timetabler, Rosemary Neilson, for the many hours invested in this process. Congratulations also go to all the staff, both teaching and support, for the tremendous amount of work they have done in planning this program. 

STATEWIDE ORIENTATION DAY FOR YEAR 6 – TUESDAY 10th DECEMBER

On Tuesday 10th December, we will welcome our incoming cohort of ‘Year 7s’ to the college on our Orientation Day. Many of the 316 new students will know us already, having attended and met their House teams at the ‘Vermont on Show’ event held on Thursday 21st November. We hope the students are excited about joining our wonderful learning community and wish them well for their six years with us.
