Step Up

Next Monday we begin our annual Step Up program.  This is an opportunity for students to see and hear from some of the teachers currently working in that year level about the programs and curriculum they will participate in during 2025. Our final part of our step up program will be on Monday 16th December, where students will meet their 2025 teachers, find out their class mates and what room they will be in next year. 

Creating classes is an arduous task and takes several weeks to complete.  I thank Mr B for his work once again in working with our staff to make this happen as seamlessly as possible.
