Grade 6 Orientation

Wednesday 20th November

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 on Wednesday 20th November is an all-day Orientation Day being held at all Government schools. This day is structured to follow a normal high school timetable, enabling students to have an experience of what this will be like in 2025. Information for this day has already been sent home.

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. Over the coming weeks before Orientation Day, 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 student's connectedness to their Year 7 high school, whilst fostering engagement through introductory experiences.

PLEASE NOTE - Students do not attend NPS at all on this day.  Parent/Guardians are responsible to transport their own child/ren to and from the High School
