2025 class structure

Term 4 is always a busy time with planning for the following year with staffing, class selections, budgets, enrolments and transition activities. In the next couple of weeks we will be creating classes for next year. We are planning for 14 classes in the following structure:

• Steiner (4 classes) – Foundation/Year 1, Class 2, Class 3/4 and Class 5
• Mainstream (10 classes) - Foundation/ Year 1 (2 classes)
• Year 2 (2 classes)
• Year 3/4 (3 classes)
• Year 5/6 (3 classes)

There are many considerations that go into ensuring classes are balanced. If families are intending to leave our school community because of relocation or other reasons, could you please advise us as soon as possible. A phone call to the office, or an email to the school or my email account would be most appreciated.

The classes teachers will be teaching will be published in the next Dhumbadjirri in two weeks.

2025 Specialist program

Next year we are providing all 5 specialist classes (Art/Craft, Language & Culture, Music, PE, STEM) for the full year. This year we alternated Music and STEM for a semester each. Due to the overwhelming success of STEM, we felt that it was absolutely necessary that we offered a full year’s program to the school.

World Teachers’ Day

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) established World Teachers’ Day in 1994 to recognise the role of teachers in society. World Teachers’ Day is held internationally on Saturday 5 October. As it fell during the school holidays, we celebrate it today, 25th October.

This day is an opportunity for staff, students and the wider school community to recognise and acknowledge the work that teachers do. Thank you to all who have reached out to their child’s teacher to acknowledge them on this day.
