A Guide to Starting Secondary

Moving to secondary school presents a number of new challenges for students. These are to be expected but are nothing to be concerned about.

You will need to:

• Ask questions when you do not understand
• Take responsibility for your own work
• Understand the value of working hard
• Stick with topics, subjects and relationships when they become tricky or difficult
• Be organised. Know what you need, when you need it and where it is
• Revise for assessments and exams
• Complete more independent work at home and on your own
• Meet deadlines for homework and projects

This may seem a little daunting but you will be able to meet these challenges when you embrace the values of our school: ‘Believe, Achieve, Succeed’

Summer School

We will be welcoming  Year 6 students to our annual Summer School program. The program designed to help students transition smoothly into secondary school life. Over the course of the week, students have the opportunity to meet their future classmates, get to know the friendly school staff, and explore the school environment before starting Year 7 in September.

The program is packed with fun activities, team-building exercises, and interactive sessions, allowing students to gain confidence and feel more comfortable as they move up to secondary school. It’s a fantastic way to ease the nerves, make new friends, and get a head start on the exciting journey ahead!

The Mandeville summer school will run in August 2025 for students moving into Year 7 in September 2025.

Please check back in this area for more news and the dates as soon as they become available.
