We would like to update you on a number of important items.
1. Enrolments for 2017
1. Enrolments for 2017
Round 1 applications for enrolment closed on 22 March. It is very exciting to be planning ahead for 2017!
Our second round of enrolment applications has now opened, in anticipation of our second Open Day on 3 May - see details below. The closing date for round 2 will be Tuesday 10 May.
We welcome applications from families with children commencing in Foundation, Grade 1 and Grade 2 in 2017. The PARED model of personalised education, where every student has a mentor from the teaching staff, requires a higher calibre of teaching staff as well as a higher ratio of staff to students ratio - therefore, places are limited to one Foundation class in 2017.
The enrolment process involves attendance at an information session and/or Open Day (at which we will make available information packs and enrolment application forms), and an interview with the Principal.
We invite all our families, future families, and prospective families to throw all their initiative and energy into promotion of our beautiful new school. We now have something wonderful to show, so don't hesitate to bring friends, family and neighbours to visit. Come on Open Day, or any other day by simply calling the school to arrange beforehand.
Please don't hesitate to contact us for any further information about enrolments.
2. Open Day - Tuesday 3 May 2016
2. Open Day - Tuesday 3 May 2016
We are looking forward to our next Open Day on the morning of Tuesday 3 May. We have scheduled open days at Harkaway Hills College mid-week in order to present to prospective parents an ordinary day in operation.
We place special emphasis on literacy in the junior curriculum and the school is proud to employ the Spalding method, which is so effective in teaching children to read and write - we encourage all families to attend this demonstration in particular.
The Principal, Frank Monagle, will also make a short address, and will endeavour to meet each visitor personally.
