This brochure provides an outline of the study, a summary of some key findings and implications, and a brief description of the reports on the study, including a third report due later this year.
Purpose
The purpose of the research was to identify the factors that seem to facilitate or hinder a smooth transition for students between the two school sectors in terms of their:
- overall learning and achievement;
- social development or adjustment; and
- attitudes towards school, learning and achieving well.
The ultimate aim was to contribute to enhanced experiences and increased successes for students in the classroom and at school generally.
