END OF YEAR REPORTS - On Wednesday, the St Peter’s Primary School End of Year Reports for students from Kindy – Year 6 were sent home electronically via SEQTA. I hope you enjoyed reading the progress that your child/ren have made throughout the year. If you have any questions regarding your child’s report, please contact the classroom teacher.
2024 CLASS ALLOCATION – Yesterday, all students were involved in our Transition Day. Initially, there were mixed emotions felt in the morning, as change can be hard, but quickly all students settled into their new classes for 2024. Throughout the day, it was lovely to witness new friendships being formed and friends from the past reconnecting. We also welcomed several new families to
St Peter’s on the day.
Many factors are considered when balancing classes, including academics, gender, social dynamics and emotional needs. In addition, children with any specific needs are also accommodated. Class lists are prepared with input from teachers and students as students have the opportunity to list five friends (friendship flower). This is a complex educational process, and we use Classroom Solver, an online program, to assist in the process. I am confident that the teachers put a great deal of thought into the class lists as we have dedicated meeting times to discuss the process and use our online program.
Given the information above, class lists cannot be altered at this time of the year. Moving forward, if you have any concerns regarding friendships throughout the year, please make the classroom teacher aware of any issues. Over the summer holidays, please continue to encourage your children to embrace change, make new friends, and thrive in their educational journey. As always, we appreciate your support with this transition.
