Year 6
Year 6 is the final year of primary school and an exciting time as students can take a leadership role in our school. We work together with high schools to assist our Year 6 students to have a successful start to high school.
Getting involved
There are great opportunities for students to participate in extra-curricular activities. These include competitions, exhibitions, sport, performances and special events. Student leadership programs provide many activities that broaden your child’s experience at school.
Selective high school test
This year applicants can sit for the selective high school placement test if they are interested in applying for entry to a selective high school. The test has reading, writing, mathematics and general ability components.
Preparing for high school
Here are some helpful resources for students and parents:
- Starting high school (PDF 1015KB) - a family guide including tips and checklists on what to expect moving into high school.
- Ready for high school checklist (PDF 121.3KB).
Help your child learn
Year 6 students are developing independence and becoming responsible for their own learning. Your child will still benefit from your support and knowing that you are still interested.
Here are useful links to information that will help you support your child’s education.
