School information

Orientation Day:   7th December

Under the current guidelines Orientation Day will be on as NORMAL - Yay!

Children will move to their new classrooms, meet their new teacher  and class group in the morning.   We welcome our new staff on this day. 

Please know there are hours of work that goes into class allocation over a period of weeks.  Considerations for placement of students include ensuring a balance of gender and student needs,  a child’s disposition, interests and friends and matching teacher and child.    Classes are refined with input from teachers, specialists and leadership.  

This is always an exciting time edged with a few  nerves. Please continue to support your child/ren during this time of the year.
