New Zealand connection for the Border
1 JANUARY 2003
Promoting a positive transition for children into school is the goal of teachers from New Zealand (NZ) who will visit Charles Sturt University (CSU) and the Border region next week. CSU’s Murray School of Education will host the visit by preschool and early school teachers from Taumarunui to schools around Albury-Wodonga. Supported by the New Zealand Ministry of Education, the visit is part of a larger project that involves five primary schools, one secondary school and three early childhood centres. The project seeks to improve the experiences and achievements of Maori students. The changes already achieved by the project members will be shared with Australian teachers at a Transition Forum involving Wodonga schools on Wednesday 22 October. On Thursday 23 October, the NZ teachers will visit schools and early childhood settings in Wodonga and Albury to hear about transition programs and practices. The visit is coordinated by Professor Sue Dockett, who is also collaborating with NZ’s University of Waikato on the project.
