Transition to School

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).

Reading

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.
