Abstract
The Building Bridges Professional Learning Community (BBPLC) was established as an intersubjective space to investigate shared concerns about transition to school practices. Meeting regularly, the members of the BBPLC engaged in critical conversations to interrogate understandings of their practices and contest the conditions, including sectorial differences, and enabling and constraining these. These conversations were recorded and constitute the evidence presented. Analysis of this evidence reveals how the actions undertaken within the BBPLC enabled the negotiation of shared understandings of practices, which, in turn, worked to reframe transitions continuity practices. The BBPLC provides an example of a long-term cross-sectorial approach establishing professional relationships and spaces required for contested conversations and marginalised voices, in this case stakeholders from the non-compulsory sectors, to be heard and to flourish.
