Defence School Transition Aide
Making a school transition easier
Our DSTA is like a School Support Assistant but employed to assist the children of Australian Defence Force (ADF) families transition to their new school.
When do I contact DSTA?
- Upon enrolment to advise of any special needs or special programs required.
- If your child/children is experiencing any challenges whilst settling in.
- When an ADF family member is deployed to ensure appropriate supports are in place.
- When postings occur so appropriate support can be provided in collecting information about your child’s/children’s anticipated new school.
- If information is required about Defence Education Assistance (DEA) programs eg; tutoring.
