Year 6 Transition day 2026

On Thursday 12 November, we welcomed 140 Year 6 students from our feeder and local schools for a fantastic Transition Day at St Ignatius. Throughout the day, students experienced a range of engaging learning opportunities, including lessons in Food Technology, Religious Education, and Science.

A special highlight was the outstanding leadership shown by 20 of our Year 10 students, who proudly represented our kura and guided our visitors throughout the day. Their warmth, enthusiasm, and willingness to help ensure our future ākonga felt welcomed and supported.

Sincere thanks to Ms Janine Baker (Year 7 Manutaki) and Mrs Natalie Baker Lim (Learning Support Coordinator) for their exceptional care, planning, and organisation of the day. Their efforts helped create a positive and memorable experience for all involved.

By the end of the day, our Year 6 visitors left happy, excited, and perhaps a little tired, having enjoyed a wonderful introduction to life at St Ignatius. We look forward to welcoming many of them back as members of our school community in 2027.
