Middle School Transition Program

Making the move to Secondary School marks an important transition in every girl’s educational journey.

We know each student experiences the Primary to Secondary transition differently, taking their own time to adjust to their new routines.

Through our Compass program, each girl joins with a group of 16 students who meet regularly in a safe and welcoming environment to support each other through our holistic Mind-Body-Spirit program, and who remain together through to Year 12. Students will also have one Directions class each week, which gives an opportunity for each girl to build skills in making positive choices and managing their own academic, emotional and social wellbeing. Our Peer Support program connects girls with Year 10 mentors so they can enjoy the support of a trusted older role model as they make the transition to Secondary School.

Peer Support Leaders offer regular contact outside the formal sessions organised by the school, helping Year 7 students with settling in and friendship concerns.

Through the transition, students are encouraged to focus on their wellbeing through sufficient sleep, exercise and healthy eating, and having a sensible amount of screen time.

Our Homework Help, Study Skills and Organisation sessions are designed to help girls to manage the transition to secondary school.
