From Principal Steve - Transition Program  

Dear parents and carers,

At Brighton Primary we know the importance of preparing students for change. Our Transition Program helps students to understand what to expect as they progress from kindergarten to school, between year levels and from primary to secondary school.

The transition process occurs at each year level as students move through the school. We also coordinate with local secondary schools to help our Grade 6 students prepare for the next stage of their education.

This year our future prep students and current students will participate in 3 sessions as part of our Transition & Orientation Program. 

Our Transition mornings are designed to: 

• Set the scene for change to the next year level
• Provide students with an overview of learning and key milestones they can expect to encounter
• Get students used to different areas of the school
• Work with different teachers 
• Please note, student groupings for these sessions do not reflect 2023 classes or teachers

Our Orientation afternoon is designed to:

• Let students meet their 2023 classmates - as much as possible class lists are finalised by this day
• Where possible, meet their 2023 classroom teacher 
• Engage in activities that will help them prepare for the following year

Students find out their 2023 classes on Orientation Afternoon, Tuesday 6th December. Students not returning to BPS in 2023 still participate in the Transition Sessions, however they participate in an alternative learning experience on Orientation afternoon (or attend their future school).
