Our Kindergarten transition program allows new parents and students to visit our school, meet the teachers, and see the classrooms where they will learn when they start the following year. They also get to meet the senior students, so they have some familiar faces.

Our year 5 and 6 students have plenty of opportunities to visit Morisset High School staff. They come to school and run activities and demonstration lessons. In year 6 the students visit for a sport day, and an orientation day as well as opportunities for HeadStart visits for those that need extra visits.

Here is what MHS has to say about their transition program on their website:

'Morisset High Head Teacher of Transition, Mr Grant Bettison, and school executive work in partnership with teachers and principals from local primary schools to ensure that Year 6 students make a smooth transition to learning in Year 7.

The Western Shores Learning Alliance (WSLA) Transition Program, sees teachers and students from Morisset High School visit public primary schools in the West Lake Macquarie area, to inspire primary students about the different types of learning that will be available to them if they come to Morisset High School.

Teachers, principal's and staff from across the WSLA network recently took part in a planning process to map out how local students will be best supported to transition to secondary school and thrive in their new learning environment at Morisset High.'
