Classes 2022

In a few weeks’ time we will begin to gather information relating to the formation of 2022 classes.  You will be sent a Schoolzine message with an online form.  This form will provide you with an opportunity to share important information relating to your child’s learning, personality clashes and important family information. Parent input is welcomed, not essential and requests are not guaranteed. N.B. Do not send any information or requests at this point.

Every year, we receive many requests, from parents, for students to be separated from other students in their grade.  In some year levels, these multiple requests, from many parents, can make the formation of classes especially problematic.

Whilst for some students having a break from a student is beneficial, this accounts for a minority of our students.  Whenever we consider separating students, we will refer to our records of behaviour incidents and contacts such as meetings or telephone calls. We will only action requests when there is a background that the class teacher or admin are aware of.

Managing relationships and developing strategies to navigate social interactions are important life lessons and research has shown are very important in personal development.  We want our students to develop resilience and with the maturity that another year brings most of our students are able to move past previous minor negative interactions.

If you do have a worry about a particular student and are thinking of requesting they are separated from your child, please talk to your class teacher in the first instance and then include the request in the form which will be sent out in a few weeks’ time.
