School readiness - is your child ready to start school next year?

Hello and WELCOME to our school readiness program where one of our resident leading experts, Sonja Walker, talks us through everything we need to know about our children starting school.

There’s no one skill that guarantees school readiness, but there are many things that you can do in the months before school starts to help your child prepare for their transition from preschool to primary school. In this video, Sonja shares a brief introduction to the School Readiness Challenge and explains the kinds of information, tips and resources it will provide each day.

We will be releasing a new video each day for the next 25 days so please join us to learn all you need to know about starting school!
