Transition statements

PublishingPageContent

​​​​​​​​​​​Transition statements contain valuable information about your child's learning progress and development at kindy, as well as suggestions for supporting a successful move to school.

A transition statement summarises a child's learning in the five learning and development areas of the Queensland kindergarten learning guideline or other equivalent and​ accredited learning guideline.​

The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) website provides detailed information on transition statements purpose, use, development and the role of parents/carers.

It is an expectation that approved and funded kindergarten providers complete a written transition statement​ ​for each child enrolled in their program in November of the kindergarten year and provide this to families.​

Parents, carers and children​ contribute to the transition statement describing their child's strengths, challenges, motivations and achieve​ments.

Early education and care services, families and schools can use the information in the transition statement to discuss and plan for children's successful transition to school.

Developing the transition statem​ent

Every kindy follows a similar process when developing a child’s transition statement. For a detailed look at the steps involved and the roles of parents/carers, kindy teachers and schools throughout the process, refer to the transition statement flow chart​.
