Year 7 2025 Transition Day! Stepping Into High School Life

Excitement filled the air last week as we welcomed our incoming Year 7 students for their Transition Day. This special event gave Year 6 students the chance to experience life as a high schooler at John Fawkner College, try new classes, and begin building connections with their future peers and teachers.

A Warm WelcomeThe day began with an assembly, where students were introduced to key staff and student leaders who guided them throughout the day.

Engaging Taster SessionsStudents rotated through a series of exciting lessons designed to spark curiosity and enthusiasm for their Year 7 experience:

Food Technology: In the kitchen, students channelled their inner chefs, learning to prepare chocolate truffles. They eagerly measured, mixed, and rolled their creations, which they proudly took home.
Maths Meets Art: Creativity and logic collided in this combined session, where students explored geometric designs and created stunning patterns. The activity highlighted how mathematics can inspire creativity in unexpected ways.
Soccer with Melbourne Victory: On the sports field, students joined in the action as part of our Melbourne Victory School of Football program. The soccer session emphasised teamwork, skill-building, and, most importantly, fun!

We can't wait to see our future Year 7s continue to thrive next year!
