Additional learning support
At our campus, we ensure 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 school based support in a mainstream class. Support can begin at any stage of school.
Support that meets your child's needs
Some students need extra support to feel confident and do their best at school. We work closely with families to make support plans and adjustments suitable to each child. Our Learning and Support Team works in partnership with students, teachers, and families to ensure every young person receives the right help at the right time.
This team may include:
- Learning and Support Teachers
- School Learning Support Officers (SLSOs)
- School Counsellors
- Itinerant Support Teachers for Vision or Hearing
- English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) Teachers
- Aboriginal Education Officers
- Community and Home–School Liaison Officers
Additional learning support can include:
- teachers and support staff working together with families and students
- providing tailored programs to help high potential and gifted students with their advanced learning needs
- small group tutoring to provide targeted literacy and numeracy support for students
- regular check-ins to review and update the planned supports
Some students need additional support to feel confident and achieve their best . We work closely with families to develop a personalised education plan that responds to each student’s individual needs.
These plans may involve:
- Teachers and support staff collaborating with families and students
- Regular check-ins to review and adjust strategies
- Accessible learning environments, assistive technology, or adjustments to learning tasks for students with additional needs
We identify when a student may need extra support through:
- Teachers noticing changes in learning, engagement, or behaviour
- Reviewing assessment information and tracking learning progress
- Parents and carers sharing concerns or requesting assistance
Adjustments are planned with parents and carers. They are reviewed regularly and changed when needed. If you think your child may need extra help, contact us.
