Year 8s “The school closure day the high school was great because as had the school to ourselves and it was less scary than I thought it would be.” (Emma, year 8) “Having previous primary students coming to visit sort of reassured us that it wasn’t a big deal.” (Jessica, year 8) “The good thing about transition days were that you got to meet new people and became friends.” (Joshua, year 8) “Having lessons at the high school was fantastic because then you knew how it would work.” (Anthony, year 8)
