Starting school is a major event in the life of children and their families.

This term we continue to explore how children can still flourish as they experience the multiple challenges and opportunities brought about by the transition to school. In doing that we will be reflecting on the strong influence of the context and practices of the school community.

For this third day of our series of 4 project days, we will explore the challenges and opportunities for children's learning, growth and development in the processes of starting school by:

Ongoing reflection on our progress to date (if you have used the 'Transition to School Rubric' please bring it with you).
Considering school readiness: what does it mean for children, families, the school and the preschool?;
How we prepare a learning environment which welcomes and includes all children.

Register for Day 3 by Wednesday 17 May 2017
