Hello Rorywn,
I don’t know how many people there are going to be in year 7 but to give you an idea the last year 7 had about 170 people in it.

What will the first day of year 7 involve?

Hi Logan
On your first day when you arrive you will line up on the playground with your form (dont worry we will let you know which you are in beforehand!). Your Form Tutor will then meet you and take you to your form room where they will talk you through the plans for the day. You will do some lessons but all with your form so you wont get lost! At lunchtime and breaktime there is a designated Year 7 area where you can go and all your friends from primary school will also be there.
There will be lots of teachers around all day to help you find your way.
I will be sending out lots more information before you start in September and on transition (either virtual or in school).
Miss Dooey, Head of Year 7

The first week you are at DSLV you can get lost a few times, but as soon as you get to know where your classrooms are you will be fine .

It is fairly easy to get lost because there is a lot of corridors ! However you will have all of your friends and teachers to help you out! One of my favorite parts of DSLV is how quickly you learn your way around it.~ Lily xx
