Principals Report

Dear parents and Carers

It is hard to believe we are in week 7 of our final term! We are currently in the midst of finalising staffing and class groupings for 2023.  

Each year, staff spend considerable time in forming the classes for the following year.  This process involves much gathering of information from previous teachers to ensure the best fit in class for all children. Work habits, special support, friendships, personality are all considered when making group placements.  Our teachers are professionals who know that a balanced class structure is the most appropriate fit for all students. Parent requests are not necessary, as teachers are creating balanced groups that consider all children and not just one.  Our teachers have already worked with the children, so they are aware of the clashes between children and aim to avoid these situations for the betterment of all in the class.  We appreciate the vast number of parents who leave class placement up to our teachers and trust their professional judgement.

Could I ask families to finalise any outstanding 2023 fee account.. It is expected that all fees are paid each year and not carried forward to the next year. If you are paying direct debit, please check to see that your account will be paid in full by the end of the school year. If not, please contact the office to amend your direct debit amount. As always, if fees create financial concern for you, I would encourage you to make an appointment to discuss the matter with me. 
Families will soon receive information explaining the 2024 school fee structure. This has been developed and is in line with Catholic Education Sandhurst’s recommendations. Please ensure you read it carefully and contact the office if you have any questions. We strongly encourage setting up direct debit and invite you to contact the office to set this up.

Have a wonderful week

Take Care
