Plan Transition Support Early
The At-Risk of Transition Register helps schools bring information about incoming students together before they arrive. Record identified needs, existing support and relevant circumstances, then use the scoring system to prioritise transition planning and follow-up.
What You Can Record
Bring key transition information together, including:
Current and previous RTLB involvement
Support from other agencies
Learning needs and academic concerns
Funding, health conditions and diagnoses
Attendance and behaviour concerns
Vulnerability, school changes and home circumstances
Notes to inform transition planning
Prioritise Transition Support
The register’s scoring system helps staff identify students who may need earlier contact, additional transition visits, or coordinated support before starting school.
Use the scores alongside information from the learner, whānau, previous school and support agencies to decide the next steps for each student.
A Google Sheets Template
This resource is an editable Google Sheets template. Make your own copy in your school’s Google Workspace and follow the included instructions to get started.
Your school manages the student information entered into the register and controls who can view or edit it through Google Sheets sharing permissions.
