Full school at Pretty Beach

 

Pretty Beach Public School is expecting 165 students next year, with the possibility of a few more children arriving early in the year, according to principal Ms Vicki Redrup.

"Numbers are always tight here but I am very confident we will have seven classes next year," Ms Redrup said.

"I am now in the process at looking at various class structures and organising children into these classes.

"There will be composite classes throughout most grades.

"Classes will not be based on academic ability but rather we are looking at social and resourcing issues.

"Please be assured that much discussion and thought goes into making the best possible arrangements for your children."

Ms Redrup said no definite decision would be made until the first week of school.

"It is so important to know how many children will actually start at the beginning of the year.

"This will determine which plan we go with."

Ms Redrup said for the first few days of school next year children would be with their teachers from this year, where possible.

"As soon as numbers are finalised, classes will be formed," Ms Redrup said.
