"Providing children with ‘transition’ statements summarising their abilities, achievements and interests when they move to their first year at school is a key element of a draft early learning and development framework. Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development Maxine Morand said children from birth to eight years and their families will benefit from major new reforms to the state’s early childhood and education system.Speaking at the Municipal Association of Victoria Early Years Forum, Ms Morand said the draft Victorian Early Learning and Development Framework would now be released for trial and comment. “A key element of the reform, which is an Australian first, is the introduction of transition statements for Victorian children entering their first year of school,” Ms Morand said."
