Transition to School

Starting school is a big milestone for children and their families. This transition between learning environments can be both challenging and exciting, and there are many different programs and activities that schools, services, and families are involved with that are designed to support the transition process. Visit NSW Education Standards Authority and NSW Education for up to date information on transitioning to school.
