It is now easier for our new families to share your child's Kindergarten transition statement with the school.
The statements are a great way for our Prep teachers to get to know the children in their class before the first day, so they can prepare to welcome them and plan for their ongoing learning and development.
Kindergarten teachers, parents, carers and children develop transition statements together near the end of the kindy year. The transition statement is a snapshot of each child's strengths, interests and learning through kindy.
Families will receive their child's transition statement with the transition statement parent/carer consent form. By signing the form, parents and carers can now give their consent for transition statements to be forwarded to a child's new school and outside school hours care service directly from kindergartens. We would encourage all parents to sign these consents to assist in a smooth transition for their child.
We will be in touch with local services to ensure our dedicated email address (PRSSpreptransition@parkridgess.eq.edu.au) is known to the kindergarten teachers to receive the transition statements.
