Although our students only move on to secondary college in late January next year, transition programs and information evenings are being held now. Students in the northern hemisphere and parts of Asia move on soon. So, they have been asked
what are you looking forward to?
what are you nervous about?
moving on together….do we have much in common with the world?
Students from England, Bangkok and our school here in Australia, have written a post about it and answered the questions on a voice thread. Listen to their comments!!!
Thanks MrKp for setting up our voicethread and encouraging us to share with you.
Year 7 is the first year of secondary school in Victoria, Australia. As part of our transition program, our year 7 students go to Roses Gap in the Grampians, a beautiful national park. This is a 1 1/2 hour drive from our school. Learn about this camp, as year 7s tell you about it, in one sentence.
