Transition for 2024

Year 1 to 6 Transition for 2024

Currently the 2024 Foundation students have started their transition program and are attending fortnightly.

In the next few weeks teachers and students will begin the process of transition for years 1 to 6. We are starting by having some unofficial sessions, where we are grouping the students within the year level they will be in 2024 and seeing what works and what doesn’t.

Soon all students will be invited to list five peers that they do their best learning with in class. We will ensure that at least one friend from this list will be in their new class. 

Staff then will work together using these lists to structure the new classes. At all times we are mindful of creating a balance, taking into consideration the academic, behavioural, social, and emotional needs of the cohort.

In the final weeks of the school year, we will hold two official whole school transition sessions on Tuesday 5th December, and Tuesday 12th December.

This will be opportunity for students to meet their 2024 teacher and classmates in a relaxed environment. Students will hopefully spend the sessions in their new classroom and begin establishing relationships to ensure a smooth transition the following year.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to talk to your child’s teacher.
