- Description
- Kindergarten has been commonly referred to as the beginning of "Big School" for most children in Australia. In multiple official government and school websites, as well as popular parenting information websites and articles, discussions relating to starting school or the transition to school have become very popular (e.g., New South Wales (NSW) Government Education Website on Transition to School, Early Childhood Intervention Australia (ECIA) NSW Transition to School Resource website or Early Childhood Australia website on the Transition to School). These websites have been created to prescribe the "tips" and provide "solutions" as helpful resources for all parents when it comes to the general concern of "helping" young children start their "big" school journey with positive attitudes for smoother transitions in be(com)ing schoolboys and schoolgirls.
