Planning for 2025

Dear Chasers,

As we approach the end of another academic year, it's natural for students and parents to look ahead to the transitions that come with moving up to the next year level. At Berwick Chase Primary School, we understand that these transitions are important moments in your child's educational journey, and we are here to ensure they are as smooth and positive as possible.

Our teachers are capable, committed professionals who are dedicated to nurturing the growth and development of each child in their care. They work diligently to create supportive learning environments where students can thrive. We value their contributions and the unique strengths they bring to our school.

In this spirit, I would like to emphasize the importance of parent positivity. Your support and trust in our school and teachers are invaluable. If there are specific situations or concerns that we should be aware of, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at berwick.chase.ps@education.vic.gov.au.  We are here to work together for the best interests of your child.

It's important to note that, as in previous years, requests for particular teachers will not be considered. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where all teachers are appreciated for the contributions they make to our students' growth.

As you can imagine the process for creating grades is extensive. Students will be asked to list 4 students that they work well with at school. These preferences are in no particular order at all and when grades are created we will endeavour to place one of these students in your child’s class. Please note this is not about selecting best friends or about parents choosing students for their child but an opportunity for the student’s voice in who they feel they work well with. 

Transitions can be positive challenges for our students. They open doors to new friendships, opportunities to learn, and experiences that shape their futures. We encourage you to speak with your child about the exciting journey that lies ahead and help them embrace these transitions with optimism.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education. Together, we can make the transition to the next school year a rewarding and successful experience for all.
