Starting school is an exciting step for children and a positive transition helps foster their enthusiasm for lifelong learning.
A successful transition from early childhood learning settings to school is important for all children and has long-lasting benefits. Children who experience a positive transition into their new environment are likely to be happy at school and continue to improve their social and academic skills.
Families and carers play a significant role in supporting their children's transition to school. Helping children to make the big move to Prep starts well before, and extends far beyond, their first day.
Hilliard State School actively works with families, early education and care services, community organisations and medical / therapy support providers to ensure children enjoy a great start to Prep.
“Together, let's make the big moves smaller."
Here are some resources to help children have a smooth, positive transition into Prep @ Hilliard State School:
