2026 Year 7 students
Welcome to Rossmoyne
Starting high school is a time of excitement and anticipation. At Rossmoyne we have a wonderful transition team who will ensure your family knows everything you need to know to settle into high school life.
Our transition team visited local primary schools during Term 2 to provide enrolment packs to each school.
If you currently live in our local boundary and do not attend one of our local primary schools and would like to enrol at Rossmoyne for Year 7 2026, please visit our Front Reception between 8am and 4pm Monday to Friday to collect an enrolment pack.
Upcoming dates for incoming 2026 Year 7 can be found here.
Year 6 events and transition
During Term 4, our transition team will visit our local primary schools again, along with some current Rossmoyne students and answer any questions primary students may have about starting high school.
Parent Information Evening
The Year 7 2026 Parent Information Evening will be held on Wednesday 12 November 2025. This evening will focus on the Year 7 curriculum and major differences between primary and secondary schooling.
Student Orientation Day
Orientation Day will be held on Monday 8 December for all enrolled students. Students get their first look at the school grounds and meet their peers and teachers during a fun-filled day.
Family Orientation Day
Families of students enrolled in Year 7 are invited to explore the school grounds on Friday 30 January, a few days before the first day of term. Many families use this day to practice their travel-to-school routine.
Year 7 orientation
From primary to high school
At high school, students are expected to gain individual independence. The school day is divided in to five learning periods and two breaks. Each period students move independently between classrooms and are taught by different specialist teachers in each subject. Orientation activities in Week 1 will set students up for success at high school, helping them adapt quickly to their new routine.
Transition Week
Our transition team coordinate multiple days of orientation activities to help new Year 7 students settle into Term 1. During Transition Week, students receive their timetables, SEQTA account log-in details, and other instructions about how to prepare for each of their classes.
The first week of Year 7
On the first day of Year 7 (Monday 2 February 2026), students should bring basic stationery and healthy food. During Transition Week, students receive their timetables, SEQTA account log-in details, and other instructions about how to prepare for each of their classes. On Day 1 of school, families who are doing a car drop-off are asked to please use the Apsley Road carpark – this is the closest drop-off point to the Year 7 Courtyard where students will begin their first day. Please do not drop your child to the school’s reception.
Year 7 Swimming Carnival & Family BBQ
Year 7 Swimming Carnival is an inclusive participation-based carnival connecting students to our house system, leaders and peers. The Year 7 Family BBQ follows in the afternoon as an opportunity for Year 7 families to meet one and other and meet Rossmoyne Senior High School staff. In 2026 this will be held on Friday 6 February 2026. More information will be provided closer to the date.
Prepare for Year 7 – what to buy, pack, organise and practice.

Computers, notebooks or tablets for school use
Parents of new students are requested to provide a notebook computer or tablet for their child to use at school. Learn more about Rossmoyne’s one-to-one computer program.
Lockers
Year 7 students have optional access to purple-coloured lockers. To start using a purple locker, students should find one that is empty and place their own lock on it, then log in to SEQTA and register their name to the locker number. Students will receive their SEQTA account log-in details during their first week of school and may register a locker at any time once they gain access to SEQTA. Unregistered locks will be removed.
Travel to school
Rossmoyne Senior High School can be accessed by bike, bus, on-foot or in a car. Students and families are encouraged to practice the route to school before the start of term – many families use the Family Orientation Day as a practice run. On Family Orientation Day bike racks are available for use by visiting families.
The school day
The Rossmoyne school day is divided in to five learning periods and two breaks. Each period students move independently between classrooms and are taught by different specialist teachers in each subject. Students can prepare for the flow of the school week by becoming familiar with the bell times for the school day.
Life skills for students
Practicing these skills will help students transition to the high school environment:
- Manners and respect (for themselves, for others and for property).
- Being able to look at someone and politely greet them.
- Catching public transport and using appropriate behaviours on the bus and train.
- Crossing roads.
- Appropriate personal hygiene habits and being able to manage any regular medications.
- Keeping organised, particularly taking note of due dates.
Tips for parents
Parents can help their children transition into high school by:
- Keeping a copy of their timetable and encouraging them to use it when packing their school bag.
- Labelling their belongings; uniform, laptop, stationary – everything!
- Ensuring they have the correct uniform.
- Listening out to pick up on the names of their teachers and friends.
- Attending school events such as orientation days, picnics, and the Arts performances.
- Setting up a designated area for study at home – it doesn’t have to be a desk, but it is best to have a quiet seated area that is kept as neat as possible.
- Taking care when driving around the school.
- Avoiding phoning or texting them directly during school hours.
