Transition period (primary to secondary)
We recognise that the transition from primary to secondary can be challenging for some, and we strive to make this period as seamless as possible.
Transition Leader: Dani Bjelanovic

Our Transition Leader is responsible for developing positive connections with our community, including the coordination of transition programs for Year 6 students moving into Year 7 with us. Our Transition Leader is your key contact with any questions or queries relating to this process.
To optimise the support for students in their junior years at Ballarat High School, they will have two Core Teachers, one for Maths/Science and another for English/Humanities. This familiarity helps establish mutual connections and understanding between both educators and students, further smoothing the transition process.
