Year 7 2026
A smooth transition into the secondary schooling is the integral step for future success in your child’s next stage of their education.
Transition to Secondary School
A smooth transition into the secondary schooling is the integral step for future success in your child’s next stage of their education. At Collingwood College we aim to make this process as supportive as possible for your family. Upon acceptance into our school we will meet with your family to get to know you and your child’s individual needs. In early December we have an information night and Orientation Day. Beginning the 2026 school year we have a welcome morning tea and orientation camp for your child to make social connections and feel at ease within the school environment.
