Is your student starting Year 7 with us at Pacific Pines State High School in 2025? Once you have completed and submitted your enrolment paperwork to our Administration office and officially enrolled at Pacific Pines State High School, there’s a few more steps to make sure your student is ready for day one.
We’ve collated a list of essential information for you to go through to make sure your student is ready day one.
Ensure you read through each of these headings and visit the website links with more details.
What will day one/ week one look like?
We believe in hitting the ground running and have found that the quicker students establish a routine, the more successful they are at transitioning into high school. Students will start day one in the Hall where they will be sorted into their Homebase classes. They will then have a short time with their Homebase teachers to go over some of the basics of day-to-day life, and then they will begin attending normal classes by period two of that day.
Over the course of the week, students will be ‘onboarded’ to our school internet, and will continue to learn about how to use One Note and Daymap. For the first few days, teachers will help students find their way around the school, but it only takes a few days and students will feel confident moving around campus. Students will be supported over the whole term through specifically designed Homebase content to ensure they are comfortable and supported throughout the year.
