Prevention work in the area of school transitions has been a growing area of interest in recent years. Studies focussing on the move from primary school to secondary school have found that students' responses to, and management of, this transition are mixed. Some research findings suggest that primary school students moving on to secondary school experience high levels of vulnerability. Prevention programs targeting students in transition have focussed mainly on enhancing social skills and self-esteem. Although there have been many programs that have been implemented in Australian schools, very few have been evaluated. The present study aimed to evaluate the Transition to Year 7 Program developed by the researcher for final year primary school students. The program attempted to gear participants with skills and knowledge that would assist them with their move from primary school to secondary school. A secondary aim of the study was to identify which factors were important in predicting successful transition: high self esteem, low anxiety, high social skills, positive expectations of the transition were hypothesized to do so. One hundred and sixty-five children participated in the study. Findings suggested that participants in the intervention group (n = 63) reported higher levels of self esteem and lower levels of anxiety post-intervention as compared with control group (n = 102) participants. Twelve month follow-up (ll months after entering Year 7) found these differences were maintained and intervention participants also reported feeling more settled in their new secondary schools. In the non-intervention group, greater difficulty with transition was predicted by lower social skills and more worrying at the end of Grade 6. Higher positive expectations of the transition predicted being settled at follow-up. The present study's findings lend further support to the importance of preventative work in schools.

The role of student engagement in the transition from primary to secondary school This Learning Curve presents results from the 2015 primary and 2016 secondary NSW Tell Them From Me student surveys to examine the relationship between a student's sense of belonging at school and other measures of student engagement over the primary to secondary school transition. The results show that studentsâ sense of belonging in Year 7 is significantly influenced by their prior sense of belonging in primary school, their relationships with peers and teachers, and the support for learning they receive at school and at home. These findings are discussed in further detail along with a broad range of strategies and practices schools can implement that may assist students in the transition from primary to secondary school.
