The Lengthy Process of class formation for 2021 has now commenced .  This process involves the current class teachers preparing draft lists for next year's classes. This process takes into consideration the academic, social, emotional and physical needs of each individual student. Decisions are made to establish balanced, equitable class groups with the potential to work well together. As the teachers know the students within the school environment exceptionally well, the best interests of each individual student is always considered during the discernment process.

Parents are invited annually to contribute to the process of class formation by informing us in writing of any needs that may impact on class placement. Written requests could be submitted either through the class teacher or via email to info@sjctdow.catholic.edu.au marked in the subject line - 2021 Class Formation

Parents are able to provide input during weeks 3 - 5 in term 4. This means that all requests need to be made by Friday 13th November 2021.

It is important to note that whilst parental requests are considered, there is never a guarantee that these requests will be granted. If parents make a request , particularly about their child being placed within a friendship group, please be aware that there may be circumstances surrounding such requests that may prevent it from being granted.
