Transitioning to Middle School

Year 7 at Carey Baptist Grammar School is based at our Kew campus and is made up of a mix of students from Carey’s Junior School campuses in Kew and Donvale, and students from other schools.

It is an exciting time, but the transition from primary school is a process that needs to be handled with great care. At Carey, it commences in the year prior to entry. By arrangement with parents and the Principal of the relevant school, students transferring to Middle School are visited in their primary schools by a staff member and one or two of the current Year 8 students.

Our aim is that by the time the first day of school arrives, the new students will already feel part of the Middle School.
