It’s crucial to get the step from primary school to high school right. As such, we run a two year transition program when students are in Grade 5 and 6. This sees them coming to the school regularly and getting them comfortable and used to the school.

In Term 1, families are invited to Daylesford College for our annual Open Night. You can meet our leadership team, teachers, and support staff, as well as exploring the subjects and facilities first hand. Open Night complements the personalised school tours and is the perfect opportunity to see why Daylesford College is the right school for you.

In Term 3, our future secondary school students get the opportunity to explore another amazing aspect of Daylesford College. The secondary school day is filled with STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Maths, Arts and Phys Ed activities.

Term 4

In Term 4 we run two transition days. All our new students, coming to us from Grade 6, join us on the state-wide Primary to Secondary transition day. Students meet their new teachers, and participate in a day filled with their new subjects and with their new classmates.
To complement the transition day, during the week prior we run a ‘Singletons’ afternoon. Students who are part of a small transition cohort come to the school for an afternoon to have the opportunity to make new friends.
