Our college is currently in the process of finalising class structures and staffing arrangements for 2025. After a thorough review of student numbers and with thoughtful consideration of the academic and social benefits for our students, we have decided to shift from straight year-level classes to a composite class structure for Years 5 and 6 in 2025. This decision has been made to ensure that we continue to provide a supportive learning environment for all students. The new composite class structure allows us to maintain class sizes that provide individualised attention and support for each student
