Best Start is an initiative by the NSW Department of Education aimed at supporting the transition of students into school. It focuses on assessing the readiness of children for school and providing tailored support for their learning and development. Through a range of resources and programs, Best Start fosters collaboration between educators, families, and the community to ensure that children have a positive start to their educational journey. The initiative helps identify children's strengths and areas for growth, ensuring that each child receives the support they need to thrive in their early years of schooling. Best Start Assessments for Kindergarten students will take place on 26th February and 5th March. STudents do not require any special preparation. They will be working 1-1 with Mrs. Pinchen throughout the two days. Parents will receive a report and have an opportunity to discuss the results with the Mrs. Pinchen.
