Planning for 2026

We are well under way with our planning for 2026 with most staffing close to being finalised. We expect to have the majority of our staffing confirmed by mid Term 4. At this stage with our student numbers more even across year groups, we plan to move to mostly straight year level classes. I will provide more information about the 2026 class structure during Term 4. 

Staff work collaboratively to make decisions regarding student class placement, making decisions by bringing together all the information available to create the best possible learning environments for all students with a balance of academic, social and emotional needs and application to learning.  Whilst we understand that having supportive relationships with peers within each class is very important for students, having one's best friend is not always the best approach or possible. 

Early next term we will send out a link via email that can be used if you have additional information about your child which is unknown to the school that you would like to share with us. If you have anything that you would prefer to share in person rather than in the web form, please contact the school office to make a time to meet with either myself, Jess Bennett or Scott Driessen (Student Support Leader).

Please note requests for individual teachers will not be considered. 

If your child will not be returning to Norwood Primary School next year, please advise us as soon as possible via email to norwood.primary@decyp.tas.gov.au 

Best wishes to everyone for a wonderful term break, and hopefully an end to all the nasty viruses that have been rather constant this Term.  

Kind regards,
