This project has four areas of national benefit: It will provide vital information for researchers, educators and clinicians about the psycho-social processes underpinning children's social integration within the classroom; Key factors that assist in school transition will be identified, thus presenting the opportunity for early identification of children at risk of social exclusion; This work will facilitate the extension of existing models of School Readiness and child-school transition, and contribute to Australia's international profile for conducting influential and cutting-edge research.
