Transitioning to School
At Coburg North Primary we know the importance of preparing students for change. Our transition program helps them to understand what to expect as they progress from kindergarten to school, between year levels and from primary to secondary school.
To familiarise themselves with the school community, we encourage all our prospective Foundation students to attend a transition program towards the end of the year prior to starting school. This allows new students to experience the classroom and meet their teachers and peers. Once at school, our Foundation students enjoy their own small community with a separate building and play area (joined with the Year 1 students), and an older buddy to ease their transition into the larger school community.
The transition process continues at each year level as students move through the school. We coordinate with local secondary schools to help our Grade 6 students prepare for the next stage of their education.
For more information see our Foundation and our Year 6 Transition page.
