Sessional services may use the information and resources on this page to support parents and carers with the transition to using the digital sign in and sign out functionality in Arrival.
Kindergartens collect attendance data when families sign their children in and out each day. Currently this might be done using paper sign in sheets or a digital system.
Beginning in 2025, kindergartens must report this data to the Victorian Department of Education. The department will use this information to support kindergarten attendance as part of the Preschool Reform Agreement, so that all Victorian children receive the full learning and development benefits of a quality early childhood education.
To support data reporting, kindergartens that use paper sign in sheets to record attendance will be moving to a digital sign in sign out system called Arrival.
