Additional learning support

At our school, 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 support in a mainstream class. Support can begin at any stage of school.

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 make support plans and adjustments  that suits each child’s needs.

Support may include:

• small group tutoring in literacy or numeracy
• specialist help for students learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D)
• extension programs for high potential and gifted students
• assistive technology, or adapted resources
• additional teacher or School Learning Support Officer support
• extra guidance, simpler content, or a different focus during lessons
• adjustments to assessments, such as extra time, breaks, or alternative formats.

We identify when support may be needed by monitoring student progress, reviewing assessment data, and listening to concerns from parents and carers.

Our learning support groups are flexible and designed to meet students’ changing needs. Children may move in and out of groups depending on their progress. Groups may focus on reaching key learning goals, providing targeted support over a term or semester, or extending learning in areas such as English or mathematics.

For students who require more tailored support, we develop Individual Learning Plans in collaboration with families, teachers, support staff, and, when needed, outside agencies. These plans set clear goals and strategies to help every child succeed. They are reviewed regularly and changed when needed.

If you think your child may need extra assistance, please Contact us.
