2025

Staffing and classes have now been finalised for 2025 and the students met their teachers on Tuesday.

Teachers place children in classes according to how they interact with their peers and their learning styles because, essentially, the classroom is a place of learning. Also, the school has information that we need to treat confidentially and at times, this does affect the placement of the students. Our teachers use their professional judgment to ensure classes are equally divided based on personality and abilities.

The staff will return to work on Friday, 31 January 2025, with students in years 1 - 6 beginning on Tuesday, 4 February 2025 and kindergarten on Wednesday, 5 February 2025.
