The process of allocating children to classes for 2023 has started.

The allocations are based on the following considerations:
· Friendships
· Learning dispositions
· Behavioural considerations
· Personalities

As part of the process of allocating students to classes, the children are given the opportunity to nominate 5 friends with whom they would like to share a class next year. They are guaranteed to have at least one of these friends with them in 2023. These nominations are based purely on friendship and not on any other factors and are the child’s decision to make. The ‘5 Friends’ lists will be completed by the children at a suitable time, in class, in the next two weeks. My firm belief is that teachers are in the best position to decide a child’s placement because they know all the children and how they function in a school environment. However, I invite parents to inform me of anything that they feel needs to be considered, for their own child’s well-being or development. I have allowed 2 weeks’ time in which to notify me of your concerns, in writing. All requests should be submitted through this Google Form. After the cut-off date of Friday 25 November, it will not be possible to take further requests into account. Information also needs to be provided each year as circumstances can change. I will do my best to support your wishes but will not promise anything. Please be aware that requests for particular teachers cannot be accommodated on most occasions.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Bye for now,
Chris Shaddock
Principal
