Year 6 to 7 Transition

At Roxburgh Rise Primary School we support you and your child as they transition into Secondary School. All Government Primary Schools support students and families as they transition to Government Secondary Schools. At Roxburgh Rise, we aim for a student’s transition experience to be successful, having a positive impact on their achievement, engagement and wellbeing. We work alongside secondary schools to provide differentiated supports that respond to the strengths and needs of all students and families. It is important to our school that we build a strong sense of belonging and wellbeing for all students. Once Year 7 placements have been accepted, primary schools are then required to share relevant student information with secondary schools, to best support a successful transition. 

Year 7 application process

Year 6 to 7 placement information packs are available by the beginning of Term 2 for students commencing Year 7 the following year. The pack will include the application for Year 7 placement. All families must complete the application for Year 7 placement and submit to their primary school as specified within the statewide timeline.

Year 6 to 7 placement Overview

Each year, the department releases Year 6 to 7 placement information for schools and parents/carers, including:

• Statewide placement timeline
• Placement information packs

All Victorian government primary and secondary schools must follow the processes set out in the statewide placement timeline and information packs.

Students attending Non-Government Secondary Schools

All families with Year 6 students at Victorian government schools must communicate with their child’s primary school Year 7 documentation. This may include;

• Letter of placement from a non-government school, or
• registration for home schooling.
