Around 60,000 children start Kindergarten in Government schools each year. Many schools provide activities to assist children in making a smooth transition into Kindergarten.
This resource is a compilation of information designed to assist in planning for the transition into school of young children.
The materials comprise:
- research information on Transition to School
- examples of current practice
- ideas for staff to review, plan and implement Transition to School programs
- resources including Time to Start School (pdf 2.05mb).
A good Transition to School process ensures children will start school ready to learn and schools will be ready for children. (Pianta 2004)
Further information will be published throughout 2008.
