Student Education Forum

On Tuesday, the 8th of November, our school had the opportunity to participate in a Student Forum at the Adelaide Convention Centre, where four of our students Flynn, Imogen, Chloe and Caden were able to represent Coromandel Valley Primary School among schools all across South Australia. All students were provided with opportunities to contribute their ideas on Public Education, what they value and how they believe it could improve.

This week we met our 2023 transitioning receptions and families, welcoming them to our school community. It was great to see so many eager and excited children looking forward to their new school journey. There will be two more reception transitions visits. Our Yr 6 students have begun engaging in transition visits, ready for their move to secondary school next year. 

Class Structures and Student Placement

In 2023, classes will be spread across Reception to Year 6. Each year, class groupings are configured based on student numbers across all year levels. Schools are funded on the basis of 26 students per class in Reception to Year 2 and 30 students per class in Years 3 to 7. As is the case in most schools, composite classes will be formed along with straight year-level classes. Composite classes are no different to straight year-level classes where a range of student abilities and learning dispositions exist. Teachers work closely in professional learning teams to plan learning programs catering for a range of ages and abilities in every class, composite and straight.

Staff are well into the process of finalising classes for 2023. Our aim is always to build academically balanced classes that consider the needs of students, including social connections.

On Wednesday morning, 14th December, all students will spend some time in their 2023 classroom, meeting their new teacher(s) and classmates.

End of Year Reports

At this time of the term, teachers are writing end of year student reports. As part of the reporting process, teachers work with year-level team colleagues to moderate and discuss student assessments to ensure consistency of teacher judgement when reporting A-E grades (Years 1 -6) for subject areas within the Australian Curriculum. Reports will be handed out on Wednesday, 14 December.

Celebration Night – Tuesday 13th December 

We are very much looking forward to our Celebration Night, on Tuesday, 13 December, when our community joins together to enjoy song and dance performances as well as end of year presentations and farewells.

Please save the date, and stay tuned for further details.
