Transition


At Lindenow Primary School, we operate with an open-door policy. Parents and carers are always welcome to visit, explore our facilities, and meet our staff and students.
We are proud of our successful transition programs, designed to ensure smooth and supportive moves for students:
-
From Kindergarten to Primary School
-
From Primary to Secondary School
-
Between schools due to relocation or other circumstances
Prep Transition
Each year during Term 4, we run a comprehensive Prep Transition Program for children enrolling in Prep the following year.
This program includes:
-
Three classroom visits where children take part in fun and engaging learning activities
-
A Parent Information Session and morning tea, providing families with the chance to:
-
Learn more about the school
-
Ask questions
-
Complete enrolment paperwork
-
Meet staff and explore the school environment
-
Our goal is to help children feel confident and excited about starting school.
Year 6 to Year 7 Transition
Students moving from Grade 6 to Year 7 are supported through a collaborative transition program with local secondary schools.
This includes:
-
Ongoing communication between primary and secondary teachers
-
Orientation days, where students visit their future school, meet teachers, and begin forming friendships in a welcoming setting
This process ensures a confident and informed move to secondary school for both students and their families.
School-to-School Transition
When a student transfers to or from Lindenow Primary School due to relocation or other reasons, we work closely with the receiving school to support the child’s transition.
-
Staff who know the student share relevant academic, social, and wellbeing information with the new school
-
Our goal is to ensure continuity of learning and a smooth adjustment to the new environment
