Term 4 Week 3 2024
2025 Class Placements
In the coming weeks we will begin planning classes for 2025. In making up classes a large number of variables are considered, including the students’ age, achievement and interests. We also consider the ethnic and gender make up of the classes and the social and academic needs of students in each class. If there is anything you would like us to consider when placing your child, please make an appointment to meet me before November 15th. This can be done by contacting the office. These meetings are not an opportunity to request a particular teacher.
