STRETCH Update
Individual Learning Plans
Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) are dynamic documents, regularly reviewed and updated to reflect each student’s evolving needs. If there have been recent changes to your child’s diagnosis, adjustments or external supports, please connect with your child’s teacher or Jacinta Wild. This ensures their ILP remains accurate, purposeful and tailored to their learning.
Targeted Support – Tier 2 and Tier 3
As shared by our co-educators, Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention programs will begin in Week 3. These targeted sessions offer additional support and explicit instruction for students who benefit from extra time and guidance in key areas of learning.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s progress.
Preparatory School Camp Forms Due Soon!
A reminder to all families of students in Years 2 to 6 – Camp forms are due by 5.30 pm on Friday 15 August (Week 4).
All camp information, including packing lists, medical and safety guidelines, and administrative requirements (such as Consent2Go forms), is now available on the Parent Portal.
Camps are a highlight of the Westminster experience, offering students opportunities to grow, explore, and connect through age-appropriate outdoor adventures.
To help us best support your child during Camp, please ensure you complete the relevant eForm – including any important details such as sleepwalking, night terrors or bedwetting – by the deadline.
For any questions, please contact your child’s teacher. We look forward to another exciting season of Camps across the Preparatory School.
