This year we have changed our Transition program with Year 6 students.
The program has taken place over three terms, where each class completed a six-week program on a Tuesday afternoon with a Senior School teacher.
Students have had the opportunity to complete three subjects, including Visual Arts, History, Drama and/or Science. They engaged in various Visual Arts activities like sketching, painting, screen printing and sculpting; developed their confidence in Drama and collaboration skills through group-devised performances; learned about Energy Transformation and Science Lab Skills; and engaged in Historical source analysis and presentation of findings.
Through these activities, students have familiarised themselves with locations within the Senior School and been exposed to different ways of teaching.
More importantly, they have begun to form relationships with new teachers and had a taste of what Year 7 can look like.
