Short weeks

Did you know that Foundation students will not attend the first 6 Wednesdays of Term 1? On these days, Foundation teachers complete one-to-one testing with Foundation students, allowing students and teachers time to get to know each other and how they learn best. There is no need to study or pre-work for this test, it is simply a 'getting to know you' interview. You will be allocated a time for your child to attend, parents do not stay for these short sessions.

 

These days are a also wonderful opportunity for all the Foundation students to have a mid-week break. We often recommend that extra-curricular activities (like swimming or Scouts) are kept to a minimum in Term 1, you could be surprised by how much energy it takes to get used to being a school kid!
