Welcome to parents and carers of our 2025 Year 7 cohort,
My name is Caroline Wheeler, and I am currently serving as the Acting Head of Department for Junior Secondary at Narangba Valley State High School for the remainder of 2024.
I am excited to be collaborating with the Year 6-7 team to support your child's transition to high school.
Starting high school is a thrilling milestone, yet it often brings new challenges. Some adjustments your child may experience include:
• Meeting new people and building friendships
• Navigating the Narangba Valley State High School campus
• Understanding our school's rules and expectations
• Getting acquainted with multiple teachers
• Adapting to a new routine
To help make this transition as smooth as possible, key staff members working with Year 7 in 2025 have been connecting with local primary schools. We're gathering valuable insights to support successful class placements.
In addition, we have several transition events planned before the end of 2024.
Transition Days (information has previously been communicated about these days)
Tuesday 26 November: Narangba Valley SS

Wednesday 27 November: Jinibara SS

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me via email cwhee17@eq.edu.au or phone 3385 4555.
Kind regards,
Caroline Wheeler.
