Positive transitions start with families.
Families play a vital role in helping children feel safe, confident and connected as they move into and through school.
Whether it is from home to early learning, kindergarten to school, primary to secondary, positive transitions between these settings are vital to shape a learner’s sense of belonging, confidence and wellbeing.
Transitions are not one-off events—they are ongoing and can be complex and diverse. When learners and families feel
supported during these transitions, they are more likely to feel settled, engaged and ready to grow in their learning journey.
