The team comprises specialist teachers trained in Learning Support, Gifted Education, and English as an Additional Language or Dialect. This diverse expertise allows us to support students from Kindergarten through to Year 12, ensuring a consistent and comprehensive approach throughout their educational journey.
Tailored Support For Every Learner
We recognise that each student's learning path is unique. Our team works collaboratively with parents and academic staff to:
- Assess individual student needs
- Develop tailored programs and resources
- Provide one-on-one support when needed
- Assist with organisational strategies and study techniques
- Manage disability provisions for assessments
- Oversee programs that enhance and extend literacy and numeracy skills.
Beyond the Classroom
Our support extends beyond the classroom, with initiatives such as the popular Mentor Program, where older students guide younger peers in reading skills. We also offer specialised programs like the Middle School Study Group and the Senior College Writing Group, where under the guidance of a Learning Enrichment Teacher, students work together to consolidate their comprehension skills.
Inclusive And Nurturing Environment
Our approach is rooted in fostering positive, nurturing relationships. We create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable and motivated to achieve their learning goals. This inclusive philosophy drives our classroom practices, ensuring that all students, regardless of their needs, can access and engage with the curriculum effectively.
Enrichment Opportunities
For our high potential/gifted learners, we offer a range of personlised experiences including small group extension opportunities, weekly mentor sessions, and acceleration in some courses. We also offer enriching experiences such as the da Vinci Decathlon, where students tackle challenging problems across various disciplines. These opportunities, along with other external competitions, stretch and challenge our high-achieving students.
Partnership With Parents
We believe in the power of collaboration. We encourage parents to share relevant information about their daughter's wellbeing and academic needs, allowing us to provide the most effective support possible.
