Transition

Through our pastoral wellbeing focus, St Augustine’s College endeavours to provide an enjoyable and smooth transition for new students enrolled in St Augustine's College. 

The transition for students entering Foundation begins with the children visiting the school with their kinder group in Term 2. Several transition visits involve activities in the Foundation rooms and around the College.  A welcome conversation with the prospective Foundation child and their parents is conducted early in Term 4. 

Transition days are held on scheduled mornings and afternoons during Term 4. Orientation Day is held in December when each child spends a day with their peers and teacher in preparation for the commencement of the student's schooling. Other opportunities are provided for familiarisation with the school and teachers if needed.

New students to Year 7 have the opportunity to complete additional transition days if required, and these can be organised in consultation with the 5-8 Community Leaders.
