Transition to Kinder
You're nearly ready for 'big' school
Starting school is a significant and exciting milestone for children and their families. While the transition to primary school can bring both new challenges and great excitement, there are many ways you can help your child feel ready and supported.
You can ease the transition by:
- Encouraging them to share and explore their feelings.
- Helping them feel connected to their new school.
- Supporting them as they build friendships and positive relationships.
- Empowering them to grow in confidence and independence.
