The ACT Education Directorate recognises the importance of well-planned and supported transitions for all children and young people with developmental delay, diverse learning needs and disability. The partnership between parents/carers and schools is key to the positive outcomes for all students.
Parents and carers are invited to attend information sessions to learn about enrolment options and planning for their child’s transition. The enrolment session, usually held in term 1, provides an opportunity for parents and carers to understand the enrolment process for local and specialist schools from preschool through to college in an ACT public school.
In term 3 an information session is held for parents and carers to plan for and support their child’s transition for their next year of schooling.
Term 3 parent session
Supporting transition to school (preschool to year 12)
Thursday 1 August 2024
6:30pm–7:30pm online via Teams
