Grade 7 Transition

Welcome to Burnaby North!

Transitioning from grade 7 to grade 8 (for students within our catchment area)

  • Counsellors will visit your child’s class in February to discuss course selection and hand out important forms. These are to be completed and returned to the classroom teacher.
  • Students will visit Burnaby North in March for a tour, a presentation, and to enter their course requests online.
  • Counsellors will visit your child’s class again in April or May to teach a Healthy Living Lesson.
  • Counsellors will visit grade 7 teachers in May to discuss with school staff each student’s specific needs as they transition into high school.
  • Students visit in June for our annual “Viking for a Day” event. Students will be taught lessons by Burnaby North teachers in the morning, receive a free BBQ lunch, and participate in sports day type events in the afternoon.

For students outside our catchment area, parents should ask for a cross-boundary application form from your child’s school office (within Burnaby) or a cross-district transfer application form (outside of Burnaby).
