The Best Start Kindergarten Assessment is a state-wide assessment that helps teachers identify the literacy and numeracy skills which your child brings with them at the beginning of Kindergarten.

Children come to school with a range of experiences, skills and abilities. The assessment provides teachers with the opportunity to sit with a child one-on-one, focusing on what that child can do in literacy and numeracy, so they can plan effective teaching and learning programs. The assessment does not require students to prepare or study.
