Abstract
Many studies have shown that the period of transition from primary to secondary school is a time when students can become disengaged from schooling.

The full study employed a longitudinal design which followed 2 groups of students from Year 7 (the final year of primary school in Western Australia) to Year 9 (second year of secondary school).

The resulting recommendations have the capacity to improve the quality of the teaching and subsequent learning experiences as they move through these most formative years of their schooling.
