Mount Scopus College Year 7 Transition Survey - 2016

Moving from Primary to Secondary School is an exciting time in a student’s educational journey. We believe that it is important for the College to provide you with a positive transition and to make sure that all students feel supported in what could otherwise be a daunting experience.
Regardless of whether you’ve been at Scopus since kinder or have entered or returned to the College in Year 7, please answer the following questions as accurately as possible to help us ensure that entering Year 7 is as simple as possible.
What do we do well? How can we improve? This is your chance to have your say.
