Additional learning support

At our school, we ensure every student can learn. We provide intensive support for students so they can take part in all areas of school life.

Support personalised for the individual needs of your child

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 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 tailored programs to harness student's unique strengths

• small group intensive support for students to learn foundational literacy and numeracy skills

• regular check-ins to review and update planned support for learning and wellbeing

• safe and supportive classrooms

  • accessible for all students
  • with assistive technologies
  • appropriate instructional resources

• extra guidance, simpler content with a focus on functional skills during lessons

• assessment adjustments:

  • more time
  • simpler language
  • breaks during tasks
  • different ways to complete a task

We know all students need additional support, particularly when:

• students demonstrate noticeable changes in learning or behaviour
• reviewing assessment results and learning progress
• parents and carers raise concerns or ask for support.

Adjustments are planned with parents and carers. They are reviewed regularly and changed when needed.  If you think your child may need a review of needs and or support provision, contact us.
