STUDENT SUPPORT GROUPS AT WAYI SCHOOL (SSG)
A Student Support Group (SSG) is a partnership between the school, parents/carers, and the student. The group works together to plan and support the student’s educational, health, social, cultural and emotional wellbeing. SSG meetings are held termly when teachers, parents/carers and the student can develop and discuss progress on the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP). These are held in weeks 5 and 6 of each term. And can occur in person, on the phone or on Microsoft Teams. It will be assumed that the meeting will occur in person; please notify the classroom teacher if you would like the SSG meeting to occur over the phone or online.
Bookings will be available on Compass from Monday, Week 4. Please log in to Compass and choose a time slot to book a meeting with the teacher. Please get in touch with the school if you have any issues logging into Compass or booking a time for the SSG.
Parent parking is available on Aitkin Boulevard. Please enter the school via the Durang (administration building).

CHANGE TO SEESAW MESSAGES
Regular and consistent school attendance is essential for our students. Attending each day supports the development of routines and structure, as well as the building of strong relationships.
We recognise when children are unwell, they cannot perform at their best and need to recover at home until well enough to return to the learning environment. If your child is unwell, or unable to attend school for another reason, such as a medical appointment, please ensure you notify Wayi School as soon as possible. Absence notifications can be made to the school in person, via phone or Compass.
Please note, if your child is going to be absent for an extended period (more than 3 consecutive school days), please email our school email (wayi.school@education.vic.gov.au); this includes family vacations. The prior notification will allow us to arrange appropriate supports to help maintain your child’s educational needs during their absence.
