Supporting School Transitions for Children Impacted by Cancer

Starting school is a significant milestone. Please see below for information to help support the transition for children who have been through, or are currently undergoing cancer treatment.

The following clips, links and resources are designed to guide families and base schools in creating a smooth and supported start for those affected by cancer beginning their primary school journey.

Our goal is to empower families and educators to support these young learners, with the aim to foster a culture of confidence, inclusion, and success during this exciting new chapter.

I acknowledge the sovereign ‘First Nations People of Country’, especially those of the Boonwurrung country, and recognise their ongoing and deep connection to the land, water and sky. I commit to protecting these as I live, work, play and travel across this vast nation. I pay my respects to First Nation peoples especially elders past, present and to all descendants of this nation who have cared for this place since creation. I thank them for their rich history, culture and indigenous ‘ways of knowing.’
