Additional learning support

At our school, we ensure that every student is ready to learn. We support students with disability and additional learning needs so they can take part in all areas of school life. You do not need a formal diagnosis for your child to receive support in a mainstream class. Support can begin at any stage of their schooling.

Support that fits your child's needs

Some students need extra support to feel confident and do their best at school. We work closely with families to create support plans and make adjustments that suit each child’s needs.

Additional learning support can include:

• teachers and support staff working together with families and students
• specialist support for students learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D)

• providing programs to support high potential and gifted students with their advanced learning needs

• targeted literacy and numeracy support for students

• regular reviews to monitor and adjust the support plans

• changes to the classrooms:

  • accessible classrooms
  • assistive technology
  • instructional resources

• differentiated instruction, scaffolded content, or targeted learning approaches during lessons

• assessment adjustments:

  • additional time
  • explicit instructions
  • breaks during tasks

If you think your child may need extra help, contact us.

Learning and support team

Our learning and support team meets regularly to ensure that every student gets the help they need at the right time. The team works with families, teachers and support staff to:

• learning and support teachers
