Students who are going to a state secondary school in 2022 will complete their transition day on this date. They are required to spend the whole day at their new school and do not come to ACPS at all on that day. They do not need to wear uniform for this day.
For all other Grade 5/6 students, this is a normal school day.
For Your Information:
Parents of Grade 6 students going to Doncaster SC and East Doncaster SC in 2022:
On Monday, 15th November, all students who are going into Year 7 at Doncaster SC and East Doncaster SC in 2022 will have the opportunity to participate in a webinar hosted by both of these secondary schools. This online event will occur at 10.30 am at ACPS. Normally, both schools would visit us in person to meet and greet their new students, but with the current restrictions in place this is not very practical. Last year, both schools ran a similar event and it was very successful.

THIS WEBINAR WILL COVER:
The High School years can be filled with a mixture of trepidation, excitement, anxiety, and stress. Added to this, next year’s cohort of Year 7’s will be entering Secondary School following an unprecedented experience at school in Year 6, many spending much of it in lockdown and in a remote learning environment. In this highly engaging and informative presentation, experienced secondary educator Sharon Witt and adolescent psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg will combine their wealth of experience at the coal face of working with adolescents to bring the most up to date research and strategies including the following topics:
- What affects has lockdown and remote learning had on our students and will they be disadvantaged due to the pandemic?
- How can I help my child who is worried they have missed out on so much in Year 6 this year?
- Understanding the adolescent brain
- Managing change: timetables, new school, teachers
- Homework
- Navigating friendships
- Managing their Health: sleep, exercise, nutrition
- Understanding Mental Health concerns of adolescents and when to seek help
