Our students have been excellent in settling in the new school year and have been doing outstandingly well.

There are a number of new students at St Albans Secondary School this year, including the new Year 7 students, a number of students transferring from other schools, our international students and other immigrants.

While there are many great opportunities for our students to make connections with others in their classes and to support their positive learning at the school, it is no doubt that the transition to a big school like ours could be rather overwhelming for them. To help with this, many of our school teachers and ES staff have volunteered their time to organise extra curricular activities around the school. These sessions are great opportunities for our students to learn new skills, to find new interests and to establish a sense of belonging within their comfort zones in addition to the normal classes they have.

The table below will outline some of the on-going programs that teachers and staff at St Albans have devoted their time to organise for our students.
