I found Secondary school was totally different to primary. Although we did have a few kids from primary school there so I knew a few of the parents, and they did have a welcome bbq for the Year 7's which most parents went to, so got to know a few more there. You don't tend to see a lot of the other parents, except if they go on school camp or there is a school event, that is when you meet them. It's a very different scene, and especially at our school, where a lot of the parents are in their own culture groups and wont talk to anyone.
