Over the next week, we will be undertaking our normal step up process in a different way to previous years.  For those new to the school, step up is where we help to familiarise students with new classrooms, teachers and student groupings in preparation for the next school year.

Staff have been carefully considering parent and student requests in establishing class groupings for 2021, as well as using their professional judgement on the best placement to support student academic, social and emotional needs.  Over the next week, we will be trying out some of these groupings in some quick 30-minute sessions.  These groups are not necessarily the grouping that your child will remain in, nor are they necessarily with the teacher that your child will end up with for 2021.

 The first of these sessions will be run today, and a final class placement will be sent home with students before the end of the school year.  Class placements will therefore not be in with school reports which are being sent home with students today.

 I would also like to share the final class structures for 2021, along with most of the teachers for these classes.  Due to a recent increasing enrolment in some areas of the school, we have had to change our class structures to incorporate composite Prep/1 classes rather than straight prep classes.
