Class organisation

Class organisation

Schools organise students into classes based on a number of factors however the teacher:student ratio is determined centrally by the Department of Education. The following ratio is an indicative guide to class size: 

  • Kindergarten – 20 students

  • Year 1 – 22 students

  • Year 2 – 24 students

  • Year 3 – 30 students

  • Year 4 – 30 students

  • Year 5 – 30 students
  • Year 6 – 30 students 

Multi Age Classes

Multi-age (composite) classes are formed to allow staff members to operate in large collaborative teams, to enable student groupings to be fluid and flexible, and to better cater for the learning needs of students. Stage 1 (Year 1 & 2) students work towards the same outcomes within the NSW Syllabus, Stage 2 students (Years 3 & 4) work towards the same outcomes, and Stage 3 students (Years 5 & 6) work towards the same outcomes. Robust plans for personalised learning to meet the needs of each student ensure that every student improves every year irrespective of their starting point.

Home & Co Classes 

Students at North Kellyville Public School are organised into Home & Co classes and assigned both a Home class teacher and a Co-class teacher. The Home & Co model allows students and teachers to work across interconnected learning spaces. It encourages a blend of explicit teacher directed learning experiences, co-teaching and deep student-centred inquiry in order to maximise outcomes for our students. Both teachers deliver the curriculum, form an understanding of each child and communicate with parents. The home class teacher is the first port of call for parents.
