⁠ EXCITING TIMES AHEAD:

Grade 6 Transition into Secondary School—Starting Secondary School is a big step—one filled with new opportunities, fresh challenges, and exciting experiences. As Grade 6 students prepare to embark on this journey, they’ll soon discover a vibrant world of learning that goes beyond the familiar.

At secondary school, students get to explore a diverse range of subjects, from science experiments that spark curiosity to hands-on technology classes that bring creativity to life. They’ll dive into literature, sharpen mathematical skills, and engage in physical education that builds teamwork and resilience. With each subject, students uncover their interests and strengths, setting the foundation for future success.

Transitioning into secondary school is more than just adapting to a new schedule—it’s a chance to thrive. With supportive teachers and a welcoming environment, students develop confidence, independence, and a love for learning. They’ll make new friends, take part in exciting extracurricular activities, and discover that secondary school is a place where they can truly shine.

Most importantly, secondary school offers pathways that cater to every learner. Whether students are passionate about academic excellence or prefer a hands-on approach through vocational subjects, the opportunities are endless. From STEM-focused programs to creative arts, sports, and trades, each student can shape their educational journey in a way that aligns with their interests and aspirations.

As Grade 6 students step into this new chapter at KTHS, they’ll find themselves thriving because of an enriching experience that prepares them for a bright future

UNLOCKING POTENTIAL:

Comprehensive Testing Program at Kerang Technical High School—Did you know that at Kerang Technical High School, we go beyond the basics to ensure every student reaches their full potential? Our comprehensive testing program is designed to provide tailored educational support, setting each learner up for success.

This inclusive process begins with a series of assessments and collaborative meetings involving parents and students. The insights gathered help us craft an Individual Learning Plan with specific, achievable goals. These plans are then shared with all staff, ensuring a unified teaching approach across subjects.

To keep our support effective and responsive, each plan undergoes a termly review, allowing us to refine and adjust strategies based on student progress. By meeting learners where they are and addressing their unique educational needs, we create an environment where every student can thrive.

BABY MANIA:

Year 10 Health students have been taking robotic baby dolls home to experience what it is like to raise a baby. These baby simulators really put students through the ups and downs of caring for an infant—sleep deprivation included. It’s a clever way to teach responsibility, patience, and just how demanding newborn care can be. Have students been handling it well, or has there been a baby-related meltdown or two?
