Transitions – Grade 6 to Year 7

Transition from Primary to Secondary Education can be an exciting time as students explore opportunities.

Here at Heathmont College we encourage families to take part in the many College activities leading up to this transition, to enable the journey to be as smooth and seamless as possible.

College activities include visits by our transition team to local primary schools throughout the year and events run at the college where students enjoy Maths, Art, Science, PE and Library IT activities and challenges.

Students are welcomed into our Transition Program and supported with a variety of pastoral care initiatives, including our Peer Mentor and Personal Development programs.
