The transition from primary school (year 6) to junior secondary (year 7) is an exciting and important time. Each year, Stretton State College engages students in a transition program, where students have the opportunity to attend and experience our Illaweena campus.
Transition Programs
Stretton State College has two specific transition programs to assist students moving from primary to high school.
Current year 6 students on the Gowan Campus participate in the Year 7 Experience. In this program, students rotate through a selection of specialist subjects across a three-week period. These subjects include:
- Food Studies
- Digital Technologies
- Design Technologies
- Health and Physical Education
- Music
- Visual Art
At the end of each year (usually within the last two weeks of the school year) a full transition day is offered to all future Year 7 students, which includes current students from the Gowan Campus, as well as students from local primary schools. During the day, students join together to meet their teachers and class members through a day of learning and discovery in our high school setting.
Students attending the Transition Day are students who are enrolled at Stretton State College for the 2022 school year.
