SSG meetings will be held on Monday 16 March.  At this meeting your child's teacher will present a draft copy of their Individual Education Plan (IEP) for students in Years F - 10 and Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) Education Plan for students in Years 11 and 12.

The aim of the Student Support Group is to ensure that those with the most knowledge of, and responsibility for the student, work together to establish shared goals for the student’s education. They plan reasonable adjustments for the student to access the curriculum and participate in their education and monitor their progress. Your input into your child's IEP at the commencement of the school year is an important component of this process.

To enable teacher availability, this day has been allocated by the Ashwood School Council as an alternate hours day, meaning that your child will not attend school on this day, but instead can attend with you while you participate in their SSG meeting. Supervision of students or their attendance at the SSG meeting will be determined on an individual basis.

Ashwood School Council

Please refer to my Compas news item sent this morning calling for nominations for the 2026 Ashwood School Council. This year we have three available parent member vacancies, a category for which carers of our students are also welcome to nominate. Nominations on the self nomination form in the school newsletter are required to be submitted to the front office by Friday 6 March.

Important Safety Reminder for all Drivers attending Ashwood School

Accidents can happen in an instant — and the consequences can be devastating for everyone involved: drivers, passengers, pedestrians and witnesses alike.

While certain actions may seem safe in the moment, we kindly ask that all drivers refrain from the following near the school:

• Making U-turns in front of the school
• Using the school driveway to turn around

These manoeuvres pose significant risks, especially during busy drop-off and pick-up times.

For everyone's safety, please use the roundabout located on Brockhoff Drive to turn around or drive around the block via Ashwood Drive, Silver Ash Avenue and Arthur Street. These routes may take an extra minute or two, but are a much safer alternative for all members of our school community.

 

Thank you for helping us keep Ashwood School a safe place for our students and families.
