Year 6 into 7 Transition

We have been warmly welcoming our new Year 7 students for 2021 over the past two weeks through our Transition programs.  Starting high school is an exciting time for students and parents, and it is an experience we are here to support and enrich.  Our Transition Team has been working all year to plan our arrangements for Orientation in a different context with COVID-19 restrictions, and we greatly appreciate your understanding as we navigate some new options to support communication and transition to high school this year.  We look forward to developing our partnership with parents and carers into the next 6 years with our newest members of the Newcastle High School community.  More information about starting high school can be found at both our website and the Department of Education:
