Class Groupings
Class sizes are kept as low as possible, within the staffing allocation. Kindergarten and junior classes are a priority for lower class sizes. Composite classes may be used to enable smaller class sizes and greater flexibility in placement to meet individual students’ needs. The criteria for class selection are to have a balance of:
· Gender
· Academic ability and needs
· Behaviour characteristics
· Social needs
At the end of each year each student (in consultation with their parents) is asked to nominate five friends with whom they would like to be classmates the following year. We endeavour to place each child with at least one person from their list.
