This term, teacher teams in each grade will begin the complex process to organise students to create two class core groups for 2022. Children will complete a sociogram to identify a small number of peers they believe they work well with. Teachers will work to place students with a minimum of one of these peers, ensuring the reason for the choice is valid. Considerations for organising classes include, but are not limited to, assessment data, peer dynamics, learning and behavioural needs and the ratio of boys and girls. It is important to remember that while we have two class groups in each grade, students will work across the grade during parts of their learning time and will spend lunch breaks together.

If you are aware of a specific factor that their current teacher may not know, for your child to be a successful learner, please submit a written response to the Principal by the beginning of Week 4 (Monday 25th October). You can email to: sjpport@lism.catholic.edu.au

Consideration is given to factors stated, but requests are not guaranteed, as teachers consider the best interests of all students in the planning process. Requests from previous years will not be referred to and only written responses to the Principal received by 25th October will be considered.
