Class Placements in 2021

Teaching staff will soon commence compiling class groups for students from Kindergarten to Grade 6.  Factors considered when structuring class groups include the educational, social and emotional needs of the child, gender balance, equitable size of class groups, a balance of student abilities and pairing students with others they learn well with. 

Parents/carers may make class placement requests for their child for the following year, based on information they believe would assist the school in placing their child. This should be communicated to the Principal in writing by Friday 13 November.

Class placement requests will only be considered on educational grounds, not individual class teacher or friendship preference.  Information received will be considered in your child’s placement but we can make no guarantees.  Please address your envelope to Kelly Dyer and leave at the school office or email:                 kelly.dyer@education.tas.gov.au

Students will be asked to write down three friends that they would like to be placed with.  This is one of the many components that we will take into consideration.  We will guarantee at least one of the friendship requests.  The process is to finalise class lists by the beginning of December.  Families and students will be notified of 2021 class placements with the end of year reports.  These reports will be sent home on the last Friday of term (11 December).

Class lists will be final and will only be reviewed if enrolment numbers change significantly.
