Transition to high school

Visit before you enrol

Starting a new school is a big step. We're here to help make the transition a smooth and positive experience for every student and their family.

Camden High School welcomes prospective students and their families to our Mini School Tours and Q&A Sessions, held once each term throughout the year, with the exception of Term 1 when our Open Night provides an opportunity to visit the school.

These relaxed, small-group sessions provide an opportunity to:

· explore our school facilities and learning spaces

· meet members of our staff

· learn more about opportunities and support available at Camden High School

· ask questions about transitioning to or enrolling at our school.

Whether you are considering Camden High School for Year 7 or for entry into Years 8–12, we invite you to join us, explore our school and discover what makes Camden High School a welcoming, inclusive and supportive place to learn. Contact us for more information and the next scheduled mini tour.
