School Support

NURTURE INFORMATION HUB

Starting primary school is an exciting milestone, but it can also bring new questions for families of children born premature or sick. While many children settle into school without any concerns, others may need extra support with learning, health needs, friendships or adjusting to the school environment. Working together with your child's teachers and school can help them feel safe, included and ready to learn.

This section provides information to help you support your child throughout their primary school years. You'll find guidance on learning during health challenges, education support available at school, preparing for school transitions and managing school anxiety. We also explore ways to share your child's birth story with educators, if you choose, and how to provide information about your child's early experiences and health needs. Helping teachers understand your child's unique journey can support them to provide the best possible care and learning environment.
