Read the full storyAt Ingham State High School, we recognise the importance of preparing our future students for secondary education and giving them the best chance of success as they move from primary to high school. With this in mind, we run a comprehensive Transition Program that involves all of our local primary schools.
Our Transition Program starts for our future students in Year 5, where they attend a full day of rotational activities mostly focussed on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths).
Similarly, for our future students in their final year of primary school, Year 6, we host four days throughout the year.
On these days the students get to meet teachers, year coordinators, leaders, and most importantly, other future students. The students get to tour the school and do some classroom-based activities, as well as fun games and challenges, including some Indigenous games. Our Year 9 Student Leaders play a key role as mentors, escorting the students around the school and helping them to feel comfortable in the high school environment.
Our feeder schools include all state schools in the district: Ingham, Trebonne, Macknade, Forrest Beach, Toobanna, Victoria Plantation, Mt Fox, Halifax, Abergowrie and Mutarnee. Students from Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School, Ingham and St Peter’s Catholic School, Halifax are also invited.
The first Year 6 High School Experience Day for 2025 is on Thursday 20 March, with further transition days planned for Thursday 22 May and Friday 23 May, and the final day on Monday 20 October. A Year 5 High School Experience Day will also be held on Thursday 31 July.
If parents/caregivers would like any further information on our Transition Program or enrolment information, please phone the school on (07) 4797 1333 or email admin@inghamshs.eq.edu.au
