Transition 2022/23
Transitioning from primary to high school is a time full of fun, excitement and new experiences, but it can also be challenging or worrying for many students and their families. Norwood Primary School are fortunate to be able to collaborate with local high schools in order to make this process a smooth one. Below are two exciting opportunities for students transitioning to both Queechy High School and Kings Meadows High School:
Queechy High School
This will be our first trip to QHS for transition. For this visit QHS run a STEAM challenge in the library, the primary focus of this is to get students working collaboratively and also provide an opportunity for them to mix with some students from another school. Three schools at a time will go to QHS to maximise this interaction.
Date: Week 9 on Monday 27th of June.
