Foundation Transition
At Seaholme Primary, we want to make sure that all students achieve success and feel that they belong. That is why our transition programs are so important.
The first step is our Foundation Transition Program. This is a chance for the children to come and spend time in their 2026 classroom with some of the staff who will be teaching them next year.
Transition Program Dates will be confirmed in Term 3 2025.
Please note – Students must have a confirmed enrolment at Seaholme Primary School to attend 2026 Foundation Transition programs.
Year 6 – 7 Transition
Each year the families of children in grade 6 complete forms listing their preferred secondary schools. All secondary schools offer the same core curricula, but a number specialise in specific curriculum areas, some offer accelerated learning classes, some provide the opportunity to work in single sex classes and many schools offer a variety of scholarships. There is no guarantee that students will receive their first choice of school, so it is important to come up with a number of suitable schools. Preference forms are completed in May each year.
Parents should consider which school will best suit the needs and aspirations of their child. We highly recommend that parents visit the secondary schools or attend open days by the end of year 5.
It is important that more than one government school is listed on the preference form.
Students from Seaholme P.S. who do not receive thier preferences will be enrolled at the closest government secondary school which is Altona College.
It is the role of Seaholme Primary School to pass the transition forms on to the secondary schools who then allocate positions.
To make an informed choice about which school to send your child to it is important that you gather as much information as possible. There are a number of ways to collect this information including:
- Talking to other parents who have sent their children to the schools you are interested in.
- Attending open days and information evenings at secondary schools (these are often advertised in local newspapers).
- Arranging interviews with the assistant principals of the secondary schools.
- Exploring secondary school websites.
Transition Website
This is a new Victorian Government site that allows you to search for information about all school in Victoria. Click on “search for a provider or a qualification.” You then type in the name of the school, or you can pick the type of school you want (eg secondary).
