Transition to Year 7

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.
