2026 class placements - during this term teachers will commence grouping students for next year's Learning Groups.  We ask if parents have any particular class placement requests based on educational requirements, that these are emailed by 23 October 2025, confidentially to myself at principal@stclaresofficer.catholic.edu.au Please do NOT send these to the office or teachers.  Allocation of teaching staff has not been completed as yet and we are unable to take requests for specific teachers.  We cannot guarantee that all requests can be met but will endeavour to accommodate any reasonable requests where possible. Emails regarding this receieved after the above date will not be able to be considered.
