It is nearing the end of term and the Inclusion Support Teachers and ELL Teachers are busy with the end of year target reviews, meetings with parents and handing over to the new teachers in the next grade. We encourage all parents to join the requested meetings so that we can collectively celebrate the students progress and achievements, and to ensure that we have the best possible provisions in place for the start of the next school year.
