Prep is the first year of
school and provides the foundation for your child's education. It is compulsory
for Queensland children to undertake Prep prior to Year 1. Prep is a full-time program in
primary schools and has a defined curriculum. Children must be 5 years old
by 30 June in the year they start Prep. To determine when your child can commence their prep year, use the prep ready reckoner calculator.

What is a Kindy Transition Statement?
A kindy Transition Statement is a document created by an approved kindergarten service to help a child transition smoothly from kindergarten into Prep (the first year of school).
It gives the Prep teacher a snapshot of the child's learning, strengths, interests, and development at the end of their kindergarten year. It's based on the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG).
A typical Transition Statement includes:
-
The child's strengths, interests, and what motivates them.
-
Learning and development across key areas, such as:
-
Identity
-
Connectedness
-
Wellbeing
-
Active learning
-
Communication
-
Examples of how the child learns and interacts with others.
-
Strategies that help the child participate and succeed.
-
Information provided by the family, if they choose to contribute.
-
Any relevant support needs or adjustments that may assist the child when they start Prep.
