Year 7 Orientation Day

Year 7 marks the beginning of an incredible adventure for students, and at St Ursula’s we believe in starting this journey on the right note. 

Our 2024, Year 7 students had their Orientation Day last week. This was a special event designed to ease the transition into high school and set the stage for a year filled with growth, learning, and friendship.

The day began with our incoming year 7 students meeting our Principal, College Leadership Team and their Year Coordinators. Students then experienced taster lessons ranging from Visual Arts to Languages and Science. They then went on a Campus Tour where they navigated the College with their Year 12 Big sisters with a passport tour. The day ended with a fabulous concert by our talented Music students.

At St Ursula’s we understand that the transition to high school is not only significant for students but also for their families. As such, it was lovely to see so many parents and carers at our Parent Information night where we discussed matters relating to curriculum, extracurricular activities, and ways to support their child during this transition.

Orientation day is crucial for easing the adjustment to high school, building confidence, and establishing the foundation for a successful and positive academic journey. We thank our parents, carers and their daughters for the way in which they engaged in both Orientation and the Parent Information Night. We are very much looking forward to working closely with you in 2024.
