What was it like starting at a new school ?

Caring staff work together to support the new students as they transition into our school. Their new surroundings include purpose-built classrooms and specialty areas. Specialist subject teachers such as Italian, S.T.E.M, Music and Physical Education (PE), take all students for all these lessons. There are many activities designed to help the student settle in, including buddies, Class and lunchtime activities with buddy classes. The New Beginnings Program occurs during Term 1 and focuses on establishing friendships and making connections with their new environment and new teachers. There a great opportunity for the students to reconnect with the new friends they made during their school visits.
