Transition to High School
Our aim is to ensure that every families transition into the St George's family is welcoming and positive, so you feel confident and supported from the very first day.
Transition Days
This takes place in Term 4 of Year 6. Over the course of two days, new students are welcomed to the school by our Principal, the Head of Year 7 and meet their Head of House. They enjoy a series of engaging activities with other members of their House. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to begin creating relationships with others, as well as experiencing the school campus and Perth city.
When we send you the invitation to these days, you can also expect Music information - this will cover the processing for applying for Instrumental Music Lessons as well as our Advanced Music Program (AMP).
New Student Handbook
In December you can expect to receive a comprehensive handbook from us covering all you need to know about Orientation Day, SmartRiders, Booklists, IT, Uniforms, etc.
New Student Orientation Day
This takes place the day before school starts. Parents & students attend a welcome address from our leaders, before parents depart.
The new students then meet their teachers and become familiar with their lockers, laptops, timetables and SEQTA to ensure their first day of Term 1 goes smoothly.
Students then take part in games and activities - a fun way to start their big adventure.
