There are many significant changes when students transition to secondary school. These include:

accessing a range of teachers,
more autonomy for their own learning,
moving between classes,
new dress code,
a bigger school campus with more students,
managing their time effectively, and
different structures throughout the day.

At Bellbird Park State Secondary College, we have a dedicated Student Transition Team who work closely with local primary schools including Bellbird Park SS, Kruger SS, Goodna SS, Collingwood Park SS, Augusta SS, Camira SS, Fernbrooke SS, Woodlinks SS, and Redbank SS to support the phase of transition to secondary school.

The Student Transition Team help to alleviate some of the anxiety around the uncertainty of what to expect when starting year 7. To do this, the Student Transition Team spend time with year 6 students talking to them about the different expectations as they enter secondary school. A supportive environment is established to allow students the comfort of asking any questions they may have about high school. Students develop a deeper understanding of their values and character strengths to support their emotional resilience, problem solving skills and conflict resolution.

Parents are a valuable part of the transition process. The Student Transition Team engage with parents about the enrolment and transition process to ensure parents feel included and informed. To further support your child as they transition to high school check out this fact sheet which has some great tips. The power of conversations should not be underestimated, chatting to your child about their concerns and what they are excited about can be extremely helpful when reassuring them about their ability to adjust and adapt to the upcoming changes.

A great and supportive part of the transition process to Bellbird Park SSC is our annual Transition Day. The Transition Day is held on the Tuesday in the second last week of term 4. Only enrolled students are eligible to attend this day. Please ensure you have submitted all enrolment application documents to guarantee attendance.
