Students start secondary school with different skills and abilities in literacy and numeracy. It’s important that Year 7 teachers have access to information about their new students to plan their teaching.
What is Transition to Year 7?
The Transition to Year 7 assessment is an optional online literacy and numeracy assessment for select students entering Year 7. It includes two online assessments:
- reading assessment
- numeracy assessment.
Each assessment includes 40 multiple-choice questions and any secondary teacher can administer it.
Transition to Year 7 is available to all NSW Catholic secondary schools on an opt-in basis.
Calls for registration to participate in Transition to Year 7 open in October each year.
Further information can be found at the NSW Department of Education website, Transition to Year 7 assessment.
