Mount Pleasant Primary School strives to provide an environment whereby all students have the opportunity to maximize their learning.

The school reviews class structures on an annual basis to determine, within available resources, the best possible class organization.

When placing students in classes the school aims to provide an environment whereby:

•  each child is comfortable and confident;

•  each parent will have confidence;

•  classes are of equal size and ability.

Our student placement process is a team effort that is undertaken with great care. Appropriate teaching staff draw up initial lists after the class structure has been decided. Consideration is given to the male/female ratio, academic performance, social and emotional development, special learning needs, independent work habits, etc. The initial lists are then reviewed by all teaching staff to ensure that appropriate placements have been made.
