BUMP UP DAY

Bump-up Day is a school event typically held at the end of an academic year, where students “bump up” or move temporarily to the next grade level for a day. It gives them a chance to:

• Meet future teachers

• See their new classrooms

• Get a preview of the curriculum or routines

• Ease anxiety about the upcoming year

It’s mainly used in primary and middle schools to help students transition smoothly between year levels. In some schools, it’s also called Step-up Day, Transition Day, or Move-up Day.

Throughout the day, our Year 6 students had the opportunity to experience their Bump-up Day, following a specially curated timetable designed to give them a taste of Middle School life.

Here’s a glimpse into our students’ day of activities

A huge thank you to all the teachers and staff from both Primary and Academy for their time, energy, and coordination in making Bump Up Day a meaningful experience.
