We have begun the process for 2021 class placements. Our goal, when working through the process of class placements is to ensure that your daughter is nurtured and provided with a learning environment to help her flourish and we take every care, thought and effort when creating our class lists. We aim to place your daughter in a class with at least one of her requested friends. There are many factors taken into consideration through this process including, learning needs, behaviour, friendships, social and emotional needs, including consultation with students and staff.
Last week your daughter received a link to a survey seeking her input in the development of the classes. The survey asks for her to nominate up to four students that she would like to be placed with in a class, as well as providing feedback on students she feels do not support her learning. Please encourage your daughter to complete this survey by Friday Week 4, as her input is vital to this process.
We understand that for some students, the change can be daunting and it is normal for your daughter to feel nervous about her new class. The opportunity to build new friendships is an exciting time, as it helps students develop resilience and create new relationships with peers and teachers. We ask that you normalise these feelings with your daughter, let her share her feelings and concerns and focus on the positives.
