At Terrigal High School we consider the transition from Primary School to High School very important in the educational and social development of each student.
To this end, we value our involvement with our local primary schools. Terrigal High School is a proud member of the Terrigal Learning Alliance, a partnership with our two partner primary schools Terrigal Public School and Erina Heights Public School. The transition process continues into High School in Year 7 and Year 8 as we work towards developing the learning skills required for success at High School.
For Year 7 students starting at Terrigal High School in 2025 click here for the Year 7 Information Handbook.
