Transition to Secondary Education
![im-717c3c4e-0898-484e-a55f-3dd34bf5d03f](https://lepage.vic.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/im-717c3c4e-0898-484e-a55f-3dd34bf5d03f.jpg)
As part of the transition from Year 6 to Year 7, students in government secondary schools participate in an orientation day. All government schools hold this orientation day on the same day (often the second Tuesday of December). It may include a school tour, meeting fellow students and teachers, and taking part in special lessons and activities.
