Learning and Curriculum Support

The Learning and Curriculum Support team oversees learning for students with diagnosed disabilities and those requiring additional academic support. Part of Student Services, the team consists of experienced teaching staff and education assistants.

The Year 7 Foundation Program targets students entering high school with significant gaps in their learning. It aims to support the social, emotional and academic transition of Year 7 students as they move into the secondary phase of their school journey. The Foundation English course, spanning Year 7 to 9, provides intensive support of students struggling with the basic English concepts. This program is complemented by a Literacy Fundamentals course, designed for students who have a diagnosed language disorder, such as dyslexia.

The teaching team is assisted by highly skilled Education Assistants who support students with Autism Spectrum Diagnosis (ASD), anxiety and depression, intellectual disability, hearing impairment, vision impairment and physical disability to achieve their educational goals.

In addition to formal learning programs, the team collaborates closely with classroom teachers to identify underachieving students and those who are experiencing learning and organisational difficulties. The provision of one-to-one study skills and other support contributes to improvement of literacy standards across the broader school community.

The Learning and Curriculum Support team prides itself on embedding inclusive practices into all learning programs. This approach enables students to achieve their personal best in an environment where all students feel safe and encouraged to learn.
