The Kindergarten Transition Statement application is a free online tool for creating and sharing transition statements that are consistent in length and align to the QKLG learning and development areas.
Arranging access to the application
Voiceover
To access the application, kindergarten services first nominate Access Administrators. Then, Access Administrators assign roles to staff members, and create personal staff accounts.
The Access Administrators manage the responsible use of the application.
To nominate the kindergarten’s Access Administrators, complete the form found on the QCAA website.
Each nominee must provide a personalised email address for their personal Portal account.
Personal accounts are a security measure to protect children’s information. They are created using an individual’s unique email address, are private, and must not be shared with others
Next, Access Administrators identify who will use the application and what role they will be assigned. This form can be found in the Portal help guide.
The role a staff member is assigned will depend on the functions they perform in the application.
Staff with the ‘Editor’ role can only create and edit their own transition statements.
Staff with the ‘Submitter’ role can create, edit and submit their own transition statements.
Staff with the ‘Delegate’ role can create, edit and submit transition statements, including statements created by other staff.
Staff with the ‘Director’ role can perform all these functions, and they can also delete transition statements.
