South East Region's Learning Centre recognises as its prime obligation the provision of access to an appropriate educational service for students residing within this community.
Transferring from another school
A 'Certificate of Transfer' should be obtained if a student transfers from one Queensland state school to another. The Interstate Student Data Transfer Note system is designed to transfer information between schools about students who move interstate, enabling new schools to support the educational placements of new students.
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 if you are moving from another state.
discuss the forthcoming move with your current school and collect documentation outlining student achievement levels and education history
prepare a list of your children's particular needs - e.g. preferred subjects, sporting and other interests
transport needs, extracurricular activities
consider subject choices, special education provisions, transport to and from school, traineeship programs, and cultural and sporting opportunities
consider behaviour management, discipline and uniform policies, the school buildings and grounds.
