The Transition to School Digital Statement is completed by a child’s ECEC service in the year before school and provides information about their strengths, interests and preferred ways of learning. It is then shared online with the child’s school to help teachers prepare for Kindergarten students and support continuity of learning.

The Transition to School Digital Statement is a secure and easy-to-use platform for both ECEC services and schools and complements other transition practices such as information sessions and school visits.

If your service receives Start Strong funding, a Transition to School Statement must be completed for children in the year before Kindergarten and shared with the child’s parents or carers and new school before the new school year.
