The process for allocating students to next year’s classes is thorough and starts in Term 4. As part of this, some parents may feel that they can assist by offering additional information about their son. Should you wish to express a view about the style of classroom management you think may best match your son (e.g. particularly nurturing or greater structure, etc.) I invite you to contact me via email before the end of this term. We approach each year as a new start for the boys, hence, we do not automatically consider requests made in previous years. However, should there be significant information from past requests, please do contact me again. Requests for particular teachers, or for a teacher based on gender, will not be considered. Whilst we do welcome parental input, the school has the final say in decisions regarding class placement for 2020.

A reminder that at the next P and F meeting on Wednesday 11 September at 6:30pm, Ms Belinda Martins (Wyvern Digital Learning teacher) and Ms Lindsay Bosch (Wyvern STEM teacher) will update parents about our approach to digital learning and science and technology, including the implementation of the new Science and Technology syllabus. There have been some significant changes in this area, so I encourage you to attend this workshop; please RSVP for this event at wyvern@newington.nsw.edu.au
