A Smooth Start: The Year 7 Transition Program at CLC
Starting Year 7 is a whirlwind of emotions – excitement for new beginnings, anticipation of possibilities and maybe even butterflies! We get it. Our aim is to provide a transition program which prepares our students for the changes and challenges they face as they undertake their new schooling journey.
At Catholic Ladies’ College (CLC), we want the transition from Grade 6 to Year 7 to be a warm welcome into our vibrant school community. That’s why we’ve tailored the Year 7 transition program to cater for our wonderful new CLC students.
Our unique, six week ‘Thrive’ program focuses on building confidence, academic success and facilitating the development of friendships. We’ll equip your daughter with the knowledge to confidently navigate the beautiful College grounds, learn essential study skills and time-management techniques, as well as experiencing a taste of the wide variety of opportunities that CLC has to offer.
We hope that through our extensive Thrive program, students will arrive to CLC on their first day of Year 7 feeling confident, capable and excited to begin this significant new chapter in their lives.
We value your partnership as a parent. We’ll keep you informed with regular updates and opportunities to connect with our dedicated Year 7 team.
Together, let’s make your daughter’s transition to CLC a smooth and enriching experience.

Transition Coordinator
