5 & 6 4/5 In the above structure you will notice three multi-age classes in our senior school. Please note that

this is not a traditional composite class where Year 4, 5 and 6 children would be working on

separate programs. None of our learning programs across the school are based on chronological

age; our learning programs will always be based on the data we collect to determine the next stage

of learning for each child. To this end, a multi-age class presents us with few challenges because of

the way in which we already personalise the learning programs across the school.

There will be times however, where all of the Year 6 children will be involved in separate events. At

these times, some minor reorganisation of the students will ensure that the experiences of all Year 6

students will not be diminished at any time. When selecting the students to be in this class, we will

ensure that there is a sensitive balance in all factors to be considered (as with all of our classes). Theonly slight difference with students selected to be in this class, will be further consideration given to

students who display higher levels of self-discipline, initiative and engagement to their learning.

Please be assured that all of the students in the multi-age classes will not be disadvantaged in any

way; if anything, they will be exposed to a broader range of experiences across the course of the

year.
