The NSW Department Of Education has developed a free professional development course video for Educators on completing Transition To School statements.
This professional development video helps professionals complete and effectively employ the Transition to School statement to aid in the transition to school. It:

- provides relevant, strengths-based information that may be utilised to enhance the continuity of learning and, as a result, a strong and successful start to school. This section looks at how to complete the statement.
