The beginning
of Year 7 can be a very anxious and daunting experience
for both students and parents. Therefore, the Year 7
Transition Program aims to make this an educational
and positive experience. The first term is really a
term of settling in with the Swimming Carnival, Athletics
Carnival, camps and Ash Wednesday celebrations to help
students and teachers get to know each other.
This
is achieved by having a Homeroom Teacher that takes
at least two or three subjects in that Homeroom. Boys
remain in their Homeroom for all their subjects except
for Physical Education, Music, Design and Technology.
The
Homeroom Teacher is there to greet the students first
thing in the morning with roll marking and briefing
notices. The students get to know the Homeroom Teacher
well and is usually the first person they go to if they
wish to discuss anything. The Year 7 Co-ordinator's
Office is always open to Year 7 Students at all times.
All
the staff at Salesian College are friendly and will
listen to what our students have to say. Our philosophy
of kindness, reason and religion is present in all areas
of our community. We make time for the boys, we encourage
them to do their best, we build their self-esteem and
confidence.
