The move from Primary School to High School is an important milestone in a student’s educational journey. We know that this time of transition comes with a mix of emotions for both students and parents from aspects of anxiety and worry through to great excitement. Our desire is to make this transition as smooth as possible. To support this, Wycliffe runs a Year 7 Orientation Program during Terms 2, 3 and 4.
Our third Year 7 Orientation Day for 2019 will be held on Thursday 7th November from 8.20am to 2.50pm. Students will experience a typical day in Year 7 at Wycliffe – we’ve included the timetable for the day below.
Students should come to the School Office at 8.10am and bring with them:
- a notebook and pencil case,
- recess
- a drink bottle and,
- a hat
We will provide a sausage sizzle for lunch – please advise any dietary requirements on the registration form below.

Students currently in Year 6 who are interested in learning more about High School at Wycliffe are encouraged to register and join us on the day. Parents of Year 6 students are invited to stay at the School after drop off to enjoy Coffee in the Café, ask any questions they might have and get help registering with our Sentral Parent Portal which is an important tool used for communication between school and families.
Students are invited to wear appropriate mufti clothing for the day. Families are asked to keep in mind the activities students will take part in and ensure clothing will be suitable for these activities. All students are expected to wear closed in shoes (with a tongue) as this is a safety requirement in the learning spaces they will be using.
There is no obligation to enrol at Wycliffe following Orientation Day – anyone interested in learning more is welcome to come.
This is the last of our three Year 7 Orientation Days held throughout the year. While students are encouraged to take part in these days – it is not a requirement for enrolment at Wycliffe.
Please complete the form below to register.
Please note: If your child has a condition which involves a medical action plan we will need a copy of the plan emailed to enrol@wycliffe.nsw.edu.au before the day or left with the School Office on the morning of Orientation Day.
If your child will need medication throughout the day, this must be taken to the school office on the morning of Orientation Day. Parents may be required to complete a form to give us authority to administer the medication. If medication to be given is prescribed medication, please contact the school office to see what is required.
