The Illawarra Transition to School Program, in partnership with Necessity Kids, Kids' Uni Early Intervention and Big Fat Smile, is delivering a Transition to School Expo Event for Educators in the Illawarra.

This event aims to support Educators in further developing their understandings of the transition to school process and its importance, and the concept of school readiness, through presentations from various guest speakers and information stalls from a variety of local organisations who can support Educators in their roles of supporting smooth transitions into Kindergarten for their children.
