Learning support
The school’s learning and support team plays a key role in ensuring we meet the specific needs of students with additional learning and support needs, including disability.
The team:
- supports teachers in identifying and responding to the additional learning needs of students
- facilitates and coordinates a whole-school approach to improving the learning outcomes of every student
- coordinates planning processes and resourcing for students with additional learning and support needs
- designs and implements the support required to build teacher capacity so that all students access quality learning
- develops collaborative partnerships with the school, parents and carers, as well as other professionals and the wider school community.
For more information on programs and services to help students with additional learning and support needs visit Disability, learning and support.
Our learning support team is comprised of two Learning & Support Teachers (L&STs), School Counsellors and Head Teacher special education, who work collaboratively with staff and families to assist students with additional learning and support needs improve engagement and achievement.
Assistance can be sought by students, staff and families in the areas of
- curriculum and learning
- academic assessment and adjustments
- disabilities, special learning and behaviour needs
- health care plans and procedures
- special provisions.
