Transition for Year 6 into Year 7
Preparing our children for the future
At Darlinghurst we prepare our children for change so that they believe in the power of possibility and possess the emotional resilience to succeed.
We ensure an effective approach to supporting children through transition through a combination of strategies that support our children and addresses any common concerns and sharing of key information, with additional strategies for vulnerable individuals delivered on a case-by-case basis according to the individual’s needs. We work alongside secondary schools, including visits to allow for a smooth transition.
The importance of a successful
transition
A positive start to secondary school
has long-lasting benefits.
Children who experience a positive transition into their new school are more likely to:
- feel comfortable, relaxed and valued
- feel excited and motivated to learn
- have good relationships with others
- develop a sense of belonging within the school community.
This positive start can make a big difference to children’s school engagement, learning and wellbeing.
