We know the transition from early learning to primary school is a big change in your child's life. Starting school might seem like a long way off but it time to start thinking (and talking) about going to school when your child turns four. A positive transition to school supports better learning and well-being outcomes for your child. Our aim is for your child to feel safe, confident and connected to their new school and friends. We hope to work with everyone (your child and friends, whanau and new school) so your child can take who they are and what they know into the classroom and will be supported to continue on learning.
To begin the conversation, here are some of our thoughts. Please keep chatting to our kaiako so we can all support you and your child about the transition process.
