Thank you to the families that attended the open classrooms on Wednesday afternoon. On talking with several staff they were pleased with the number of families that visited their classrooms. I hope that you found the visit beneficial and that it gave you a clearer understanding of what they have been doing throughout the year.
On the 19th November we have the second of our multi-age evenings commencing at 6pm in the school library. At this meeting we will again present the rationale for moving to a multi-age setting from Year 1 to Year 6. The majority of the evening will be dedicated to answering questions parents may have, bearing in mind some curriculum issues will not be resolved until we begin planning for 2025. At our first meeting I said I would announce the class teachers for 2025 at the second meeting. This will be done at this meeting and will also be sent home to all families at 7.30pm for those that are unable to attend the meeting. It will be distributed on Compass.
