OrientaUon Day

Next Wednesday 7 December 2022 students and their families will learn who their 2023 teacher will be. On this day, the children will "move up" to their new classroom and spend around an hour with their new teacher. This will give them an opportunity to realise that they know many other students and gain a sense of the feel of the classroom.

As menOoned previously, many factors are taken into consideraOon when creaOng class lists. It is a huge task and takes teachers and staff a significant amount of thought, Ome and care.

Fortunately, our Infant Jesus School staff have great experOse, and parents are assured that no ma_er who their child's teacher may be - they will be focused on ensuring the best possible outcomes for each and every child in their care. Our staff also work and plan together across year levels and our children have numerous opportuniOes to work with other children in their year level. Each school year is a new start for everyone and a chance to begin afresh. Thank you for assisOng in this Ome of transiOon by showing your child you trust in their ability to move towards 2023 posiOvely and for helping them to focus on all the wonderful opportuniOes change offers as this builds resiliency.
