What can be done to create more effective transitions from birth to Year 12, to support greater continuity of learning and better student outcomes?

Evidence shows that a child-centred approach helps with successful transitions. We spoke to the principal and OSHC coordinator at Kuluin State School about how they approach transitions.

Collaboration between OSHC services and schools enhances continuity of learning and effective transitions. We spoke to the principal and OSHC coordinator at Kuluin State School about how they approach transitions.

The evidence-based practices presented in this guide can be used to support children’s transitions from before-school care to school and from school to after-school care.

This evidence summary supports the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO)'s practice guide for transitions between school and OSHC. It describes the evidence base behind the guides and synthesises insights from available research.

AERO has partnered with the National Outside School Hours Services Alliance (NOSHSA) to support continuity of learning and development for school-aged children as they move between out of school hours care (OSHC) services and school.

This discussion paper outlines 3 constructs that can be measured to determine the effectiveness of transitions and children and families’ sense of belonging.
