FEEDBACK - What's your experience of education transitions?


Dear families,

The NSW parliament is conducting an inquiry into “transition support for students with additional or complex needs and their families” focusing on transitions between stages of education. This includes transition from pre-school to school, from primary to secondary school and from school to post-school.

Family Advocacy is preparing a submission for the inquiry and we need your feedback! Our submission will be guided and strengthened by being based on the lived experiences and reflections of families.

Below are some questions to stimulate your thinking. If you have any other issues related to transitions in education you would like to feedback that are not covered by these questions, please feel free to do so.

Questions to stimulate thinking:
·         What types of educational transitions has your family member undergone - pre-school to school, primary to secondary school and/or school to post-school?
·         During these times of transition, did you receive assistance in the transition? 
·         If yes, what was the nature of the assistance and who provided it?
·         Was any of the assistance helpful or unhelpful?
·         What assistance would you like to have received?
·         What is the key message you would like us to provide to the inquiry to improve transitions in education?

Please send me an email or call me for a chat. Our contact details are at the bottom of this email.

Kind Regards,

Nadia Samperi
