What is Preparing in Primary?
Preparing in Primary is an online guide for schools to provide resources and training for teachers, parents and students to bridge the gap between primary school and high school, making the transition from Year 6 to Year 7 easier for everyone.
Who should arrange access for their school?
PRIMARY SCHOOL PRINCIPALS / YEAR 6 TEACHERS as the school can use the guide with Year 6 students and families throughout the last year of primary school, but particularly during Terms 3 and 4.
REGISTRARS / ENROLMENT OFFICERS at secondary schools as they can hand out a flyer to parents as part of the new school orientation package so families can access the program at home, ensuring equity in transition for students joining the school community.
SECONDARY SCHOOL PRINCIPALS / YEAR 7 TEACHERS OR TRANSITION COORDINATOR as it is great for the start of Year 7 or even better on orientation days the year before where incoming students can be shown the site, do some activities and take home login details.
