Tomorrow, 10th May staff will be undertaking an in-depth guide to all aspects of student learning in the context of the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of the International Bacculaureate (IB). An international presenter will lead staff through “Making the PYP happen. A curriculum framework for interna-tional primary education.”
2020 KINDERGARTEN AND PREP ENROLMENTS
It is that time of year when schools are commencing preparation for the following year and student numbers are critical to the school’s staffing structure. For many of you it must seem very early in the year, but for schools it is imperative that we have knowledge of numbers for staffing and other resources. I would ask you to please complete the required Student Admission Enrolment Form if you intend enrolling your child at Burwood Heights Primary School and Kindergarten in 2020. This form is available from the main office or on the school’s website. It can be forwarded by mail if requested.
SECONDARY SCHOOL PLACEMENT – 2020
I know that many parents have visited secondary government and non-government schools already, in prepara-tion for their child/children transitioning to Year Seven in 2020.
The state-wide placement timeline and procedures are as follows for those students wishing to enter a govern-ment school in 2020: -
Information regarding secondary education and Application for Enrolment (Year Seven) forms has been dis-tributed to Year Six students.
These forms are to be returned to Burwood Heights Primary School by Friday 17th May, 2019.
We will then submit all initial placement requests (first preferences) to the secondary school.
We will notify parents of the results of the placements applications, in writing, on 7th August 2019.
Parents/Carers may commence lodging non-placement appeals for secondary schools on 9th August
Orientation Day will be conducted on 11thDecember for Year Six students.
