Year 6 to 7 Transition
Starting high school is an exciting milestone, and at Irrawang High School we are committed to making the transition from Year 6 to Year 7 a positive, supported and successful experience for every student.
Our comprehensive transition program helps students become familiar with our school, meet new friends, build confidence and develop the skills they need to thrive in high school. Students have opportunities to experience high school learning, meet teachers and support staff, explore our facilities and begin building connections with their new school community.
Throughout the transition, we work closely with students, families and our partner primary schools to ensure students feel welcomed, connected and ready for the next stage of their learning journey.
Our Transition Programs
- Years 4,5 & 6 Transition Visits – opportunities for students to visit Irrawang High School, experience lessons and become familiar with the school environment.
- IHS students make Transition Visits to Partner Primary Schools - Our IHS students have been visiting our partner primary schools as part of our Year 6 to Year 7 transition program. It’s a great opportunity for our students to connect with future Year 7 students, share their experiences and help make the move to high school a little easier.
- HPGE Transition Program – extension and enrichment opportunities that connect high-achieving primary students with learning experiences at high school.
- Orientation and Connection Activities – activities designed to build friendships, confidence and a sense of belonging.
- Student Support and Wellbeing – dedicated staff and programs to support students' academic, social and emotional transition to high school.
- Peer and Student Leadership – opportunities to connect with older students and develop positive relationships across the school.
- Individualised Transition Support – collaboration with primary schools, families and support staff to ensure students' individual needs are understood and supported.
Our goal is simple: to ensure every student starts Year 7 feeling confident, connected, welcomed and ready to learn.
