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.

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.

Additional learning support can include:

• Parents, carers and teachers working together
• specialist support for students learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D)

• providing tailored programs to help high potential and gifted students

• small group tuition to provide targeted literacy support for students through MacqLit programs

• changes to the classrooms:

  • accessible classrooms
  • assistive technology
  • instructional resources

• assessment adjustments

We know when a student needs support when:

• teachers notice changes in learning or behaviour
• reviewing assessment results and learning progress
• parents and carers raise concerns or ask for support via their classroom teacher

Adjustments are planned with parents and carers. They are reviewed regularly and changed when needed.

Learning and support team

Our learning and support team helps make sure every student gets the help they need at the right time. The team works with families, teachers and support staff to:

• understand each student’s needs
