Planning for 2016 As we begin the final term for 2015 we also begin careful planning for the 2016 school year, including class
structures and teaching arrangements.
If you have any concerns regarding the placement of your child next year based on educational grounds, you
may put these in writing and forward them to the Principal by Friday 6th November – Request forms will be
available at the office or on the school website.
Please note also that requests for a particular teacher will not be acknowledged, as the educational needs of all
children in the school must be considered and teacher movement across teaching teams is common practice at
TPS.
This practice is a key component of building staff energy, collaboration and knowledge.
HEAD LICE
Several parents have recently reported cases of head lice for students particularly in
Prep – Years 2. Could all parents please make an extra effort over the next week to
check their child/ren’s hair. Please note, children are to be excluded from school
until treatment has been applied. Further information about head lice treatment can
