Transition to Primary Education

Starting school is a major milestone for you and your child, and the start of a new phase of life for you both. These pages will help make your child's move from kindergarten and other early childhood services to primary school as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Your child’s first years of school will be exciting and engaging and this information will help you and your child make the most of the experience. There are handy hints and tips about your child’s school journey that are based on suggestions from other families who, like you, want the best for their children. Victorian government schools recognise and value the contribution you and your family make to your child’s education and this information explains how you can stay informed and become involved in your child’s education. 

You can also subscribe to the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development’s (DEECD) free weekly email alert that delivers tips, insights and news, see: Prep for Parents
