TRANSITION TO SECONDARY SCHOOL
The transition from Year 6 into Year 7 is an exciting and important part of the final year of primary school for all students at Mandama Primary School. Our year 6 teachers and the staff at Mandama are here to make this process as easy as possible.
Students from Mandama Primary School transition to a broad range of Government and Non-Government secondary settings and our school regularly receives positive feedback from the secondary schools on the high level of preparation and prior knowledge that our graduating students carry with them once they leave.
We maintain strong links with our former students in the their secondary settings and feel immense pride when they return to perform for our students in their secondary school bands; come to speak to our students at assembly; assist with our sports days; achieve special awards and commendations; become student leadership positions or lead small group activities with our students in their school settings.
