Stepping Stones Program – Year 7
The transition from primary to secondary school is an exciting and important milestone in every young person’s learning journey. At Wollert Secondary College, our Year 7 Stepping Stones Program is designed to ensure every student feels supported, connected, and confident as they begin their secondary school experience.
Building a Strong Foundation
Through the Stepping Stones Program, students are placed into classes with a core teacher who delivers several of their main subjects. This structure helps students adjust smoothly to secondary school life by providing a consistent point of contact and fostering positive, trusting relationships.
Our program focuses on developing:
- Confidence and independence in a new environment
- A strong sense of belonging within the Year 7 cohort
- The learning and organisational skills needed for success in later years
