TRANSFERRING TO ANOTHER SCHOOL
A Certificate of Transfer should be obtained if a student transfers from one Queensland state school to another. When a student is transferring from interstate or overseas, the new school should be contacted directly. It is helpful if parents or caregivers are able to provide any additional information, such as school reports or samples of written work, to help staff assign the student to the most appropriate class. A birth certificate must be provided when enrolling the child.
When transferring between schools:
- Consider timing - will the move coincide with the change of term?
- Involve your children in discussions and decisions about moving - this may help allay any fears or concerns they have.
- Prepare a list of your children's particular needs - e.g. preferred subjects, sporting and other interests, transport needs, extracurricular activities.
