Hear from current Year 7 students

As part of preparing for this event, we asked current Year 7 students to reflect on their experience of starting high school.

• "The teachers are really supportive and they listen."
• "Everyone is really nice and encouraging, and you'll make lots of friends."
• "You get way more opportunities."
• "It might feel scary at the start, but the teachers and students are welcoming and encouraging."

These comments reflect what many families hope for as their child begins high school: support, friendship, encouragement and new opportunities.

Why attend the Year 7 Information Morning?

Choosing a high school is about more than subjects, buildings or timetables. For many families, one of the biggest questions is:

Will my child be okay?

At ACC Southlands, the transition into Year 7 is supported through intentional programs, caring teachers and a school community that values each student.

At the Year 7 Information Morning, families will have the opportunity to learn more about:

• How students are supported as they move from primary school to high school
• The role of Pastoral Care in helping students feel known and supported
• Orientation, community-building activities, excursions and Year 7 Camp
• Year 7 subjects and learning opportunities
• How teachers and parents work together during the secondary years
• What day-to-day life looks like for a Year 7 student at ACC Southlands
