Transitioning into the Next Chapter
At Depot Hill State School, we understand the importance of providing students with positive transition experiences to help them feel confident, comfortable and prepared for their next stage of learning.
Getting Ready for Prep 2027
Our Step Into Prep program runs every Tuesday from 9:00am to 11:00am for 16 weeks leading up to Prep. Mrs Olive has been doing a wonderful job supporting our future Preppies as they become familiar with school life.
In recent weeks, the children have enjoyed spending time in the Prep classroom, meeting their teachers for next year and becoming familiar with morning routines.
We are excited to already have seven students enrolled for Prep 2027! If you know a child who will turn five before 30 June 2027, please encourage their family to contact the school for an enrolment pack.
Year 6 – Preparing for High School
Our Year 6 students are preparing for their exciting move to high school. Staff from Rockhampton State High School recently visited Depot Hill to meet with Miss Karthik and share information to support a smooth transition for our students.
Upcoming high school transition days include:
Tuesday 1 December – North Rockhampton State High School
Wednesday 2 December – Rockhampton State High School
All Year 6 students are encouraged to attend their enrolled high school's transition day to meet new teachers, explore their new surroundings and build confidence.
Year 5 – Developing Future Leaders
On Thursday 3 December, our Year 5 students will travel to Port Curtis Road State School to participate in a Leadership Day in preparation for becoming our school leaders in 2027.
Through engaging activities, teamwork and reflection, students will explore the importance of courage, humility, empathy and respect. The day will encourage students to develop confidence, strengthen their leadership skills and recognise that being a great leader is about actions, integrity and supporting others.
We look forward to supporting all our students as they take these exciting next steps in their educational journeys.
