Transition Session For Students in Foundation to Year 5

Over the next two weeks, we will be conducting 2 transition sessions where our students will spend time with their new teacher and class in their 2024 classroom. School Leadership, Teachers and Education Support Staff have spent a huge amount of time deliberating over the 2024 Classes. This process takes some time as great consideration and care is taken to meet the needs of our students. 

 

Please note that it is extremely difficult to change the classes once they have been formed. We have ensured that every student has at least one friend in their class and have tried to accommodate parent/carer requests that have been received. Changing class, classroom and teacher can be a challenge for some of our students and change can be difficult. We ask that if your child is disappointed because they are not in a class with a particular friend they requested or was hoping for a certain teacher that you please support the school’s decision and we will support your child to build resilience to this new change.
