Transitioning to primary school

Leaving a service

If your child is leaving the early childhood education and care service:

• check how much notice you need to give
• put it in writing
• pay any exit fees
• check that any bond you've paid will be returned
• complete any paperwork.

Transitioning to primary school

If your child is starting primary school the following year, you’ll also have to:

• select and enrol your child in primary school
• take your child to any orientation activities at their new primary school.

Make the transition to primary school easier with information and resources from the NSW Department of Education, including:

• a school readiness checklist
• stories and activities about going to school.
