As part of the transition to secondary school all year 7 students were involved in the Kew Welcomes You program on Tuesday 18 February. The groups were involved in Life Be in It activities for half the day and Q Minute It to Win It activities for the remainder of the day including a session with their Peer Support Leaders. 

The students participated enthusiastically, had a lot of fun and were able to get to know other students in their year level and their teachers.  All students enjoyed a barbecue lunch with their peers and teachers. 

A special thanks to all staff involved as these programs are important in ensuring that year 7 students make a successful transition into secondary school.  Overall, year 7 students have settled in well.
