YEAR 9 – COURSES OF STUDY<br />
BRIDGING THE GAP – Transition from Year 8 to Year 9<br />
To support students moving into a more complex environment we have a Transition Programme so Year 8 students make the<br />
move to Secondary School as smoothly as possible.<br />
• All Year 8 students and their families have personalised family enrolment interviews with Principal, Dean or Senior Leader. At<br />
the interview an Individual Development Plan (IDP) is written.<br />
• Deans visit contributing schools to speak to classes and answer any student queries.<br />
• Year 8 students visit <strong>Spotswood</strong> College in their Year 8 year.<br />
• Head Prefects and Junior students speak to Year 8 assemblies about life at <strong>Spotswood</strong> College and opportunities available.<br />
• Year 9 Deans communicate with Year 8 Classroom teachers as to appropriate placements and what support or extension for<br />
students is needed.<br />
• Visits to <strong>Spotswood</strong> College can be made by Year 8 students who are anxious about the move to Secondary School.<br />
• During the first day of Secondary School the students are home-roomed with two of their Core Teachers and their Year 13<br />
Buddies to orientate them into the College.<br />
• Year 9 and Year 13 Peer Support Leaders are the only students in attendance at school on day one at <strong>Spotswood</strong> College.<br />
• Peer Support Leaders continue to have contact with Year 9 students through the Year.<br />
• Whanau classes are vertical ensuring Year 9’s have continuing support from and interaction with all year groups, especially<br />
Seniors. Whanau classes have 13-18 students in them.<br />
• Our aim is to give Junior students choices that will prepare them for Senior Courses.<br />
