For children and their families, the transition to school is a significant milestone in a child’s education.
Transition statements are valued by early education and care services, families and schools as a source of information to help children experience a positive transition to school.
Transition statements are written from a strengths-based perspective to provide a point-in-time summary of each child’s knowledge, skills and dispositions for learning across the five learning and development areas in the Queensland kindergarten learning guideline (QKLG), and to support transition and continuity of learning into school. Children and parents/carers have the opportunity to contribute to the transition statement.
The QKLG has more information on supporting transitions and continuity of learning.
