Grade 6 Transition
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. Coming up in Week 9 of this Term, Kings Meadows High School’s transition team will be returning to NPS for an Expo afternoon, enabling our students to have an experience of what a school day will look like in 2024. For those attending Queechy High School, we will be heading over to the campus on Wednesday September 13th for a second visit. This will involve a school mapping exercise run by the QHS Transition Leaders.
On September 19th or 21st Queechy High School will be hosting Parent Information Sessions between 7:00pm – 8:00pm. Parents are able to attend on either night and do not need to RSVP. We are hoping to have hard copy invitations asap.
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. Over the coming weeks, identified students will be taking part in some extra transition activities. The purpose of these experiences is to expose students to high school life and the opportunity to visit the campus and be introduced to both staff and students at the school. The goal of a successful transition program is to increase students connectedness to their Year 7 high school, whilst fostering engagement through introductory experiences.
