Year Four sees a greater focus on students taking responsibility for their own learning and behaviour. It is also a very important year as it marks the third stage in your child’s Sacramental journey. You should have received a note (on mauve-coloured paper) last week with the key dates for First Holy Communion preparation. Please see your child’s teacher immediately if this note did not make it home.

The children have settled into class routines well and during the year they will be completing a wide variety of tasks in all subject areas.

The children are settling into class routines and we are enjoying getting to know all of our students and their families. We look forward to working together to assist students learn and grow in a safe, nurturing classroom environment.

We have planned that this year will be one of achievement for all children. We are determined to help all children to experience the success and joy of learning new skills, especially in the essential areas of language and communication, Mathematics and respect for themselves and others. Your continuing encouragement and support for your children and open and cooperative communication between us will ensure the best possible outcomes of our programmes.
