Year 6 Transition 2023-2024
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. Our local schools are aiming to assist students and their families by making sure every child is prepared and feels supported in their choice for high school learning in 2024.
Coming up we have experiences available for those students who will be attending Queechy High School and Kings Meadows High School, plus those students who are still unsure. The purpose of both of these experiences is to increase students connectedness to their Year 7 high school, whilst fostering engagement through introductory experiences.
Members of the transition team from Queechy High School will be visiting all Year 6 students at Norwood Primary on Thursday 15th June. During the session, our students will find out all that happens at Queechy while having the opportunity to ask questions of the team.
Year 6 students transitioning from Norwood Primary School to Kings Meadows High School in 2024 will be attending ‘Challenge Day’ on Monday 19th June. Students will experience a sample of the teaching and learning programs being offered at the school. The day is designed around a number of curriculum-based challenges, SWAT (My Education), HaSS, Maths, English, Science, Health & Physical Education, Arts & Technologies. Participating students will experience a typical Year 7 day at high school. Information around this day has already gone home to those students impacted.
