Transition to School
We have recently been sent a copy of 'Got a Young One Starting School' compiled by a Mana Ake group in North Canterbury. This group of social workers are in our schools to support tamariki, kaiako and whanau. During the next few months we will add relevant pieces to the newsletter for those getting ready to transition.
