Ready schools + ready families + ready communities = Ready children

Date: Tuesday 15 June 2021 at 7.00pm - 8.30pm Presented by: Louise Dorrat

What does school readiness mean? Is it about numbers and letters or is it being able to take turns, being able to separate from the parent and being able to concentrate? Is my child ready for school next year or should I wait until the following year? Won’t they be bored with another year of kinder?

Are you confused by the different views you hear in the community?

This session explored these questions and discussed the importance of the child’s social and emotional maturity.

Practical strategies, including the importance of play and building children’s resilience and self-regulation were discussed to prepare your child and family for a smooth and positive transition to school.
