Preparing for the Next ChapterLooking Ahead to Senior School |
As students progress through the Junior School at the BSA, they prepare for tomorrow. As students move through Years 2-6, they develop deep academic ambition, resilience and confidence. By the time they reach Year 6, our oldest Junior students are prepared to step into the Senior School ready to lead, innovate and make an impact. In the first term of Year 6, the transition to Senior School begins gently. They encounter more and more of the Senior School world one step at a time – like joining whole-school assemblies and meeting their new teachers. Familiarity and excitement naturally builds.
