PLANNING FOR 2019The placing of children into their new classes each year is a complex process. At

Forestville PS we generally form parallel class groups ie, they are not graded

academically, but balanced to reflect the full range of students in our school.

The current classroom teachers know the children best in the classroom context, and

they, as a professional group, take a great deal of care and discussion to ensure each

child is well placed for the following year. The following factors are taken into account

when making these decisions.

Thank you for your support.

Louisa Wellings (Relieving Principal)

From the Office

Term 4 accounts were emailed three weeks ago and prompt payment is greatly appreciated.

Thank you to the families who have settled their final accounts for this year.

Please ensure when returning notes and payments that you have included your child’s

name and class.

PHOTOS - Sport and Extra-Curricular

The deadline to order your Sport and Extra-Curricular photos online has been extended to

Sunday, 18 November.

LOST PROPERTY

We have had a SILVER RAZOR SCOOTER here at the office all year which has not been claimed. If

you think this is yours then please come and see us ASAP, as we will be donating it to Vinnies

soon. There are quite a few pairs of glasses, watches and other miscellaneous goods which are

here in the office as well. If you are missing anything valuable, please come and see us to check.

Academic performance

Gender

Language needs

Special needs relating to medical or physical support needs

Behavioural needs; application to learning

Friendship groups are also considered, but not a priority. As many parents

would be aware, friendships are changeable, and in many cases children learn

better without the distraction of their ‘best friends’ in the same class.

If you consider there are ‘exceptional circumstances’ that warrant a placement

request, please fill in the attached form and return to me. It will then be

considered by the Learning Support Team in consultation with the classroom

teacher’s recommendations.

EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES REGARDING CLASS PLACEMENT – Click

Because of the complex nature of the process as outlined above, the class

allocations in the new school year will be final. I envisage that no changes will

be made after class allocations are announced in the first week of the 2019

school year.
