Year 6 Transition 2024-2025
Year 6 Transition 2024-2025
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 2025.
Coming up this term 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.
QHS
An Orienteering type activity for students will be held on Wednesday 4th September. These opportunities will allow our students to view the facilities and meet the year 7 staff. There will be further information coming home for those students transitioning to QHS, please keep an eye out.
KMHS
KMHS have been working with the year 7 Transition Leaders to design a Mini Expo about life at High School that will be presented at NPS. This Expo style session will be held in week 6 this term. This involves KMHS Year 7 Transition leaders and teachers coming to NPS to set up a ‘speed dating’ style mini expo so that year 6 students can learn more about KMHS.
