Year 6 → Year 7 Transition Day 🎓✨
We loved welcoming our current and incoming Year 6 students for our annual Secondary Transition Day! Students experienced a full Year 7 timetable, explored new subjects, met their teachers, and embraced the independence of Lower Secondary life.
From moving between classrooms to enjoying hands-on lessons (including a memorable History lesson featuring Aztec hot chocolate), the day was filled with excitement, curiosity, and confidence-building moments.
Students shared how welcomed they felt and how excited they are for new opportunities whether it’s new subjects, greater independence, or even trips and café visits!
A big thank you to our amazing staff for creating such an engaging and inspiring day. We can’t wait to officially welcome our new Year 7 cohort in August!
