Dear parents and carers
I will soon be writing a transition statement for your child. The transition statement is a summary
of your child’s learning during the Kindergarten Year.
It will identify your child’s strengths, skills, motivations and interests, and will describe their
learning in five learning and development areas. The statement will help you to support your child
to transition into Prep.
I would like to include your ideas in the statement. Please answer the questions below about your
child’s learning and ways to settle your child into new situations.
Kind regards
