WIN (What I Need)

The Literacy component of WIN supports students to strengthen core literacy skills required for success across all learning areas. Instruction is differentiated to address individual needs, with opportunities for intervention, consolidation, and extension.

Key focus areas include:

• Reading comprehension and fluency

• Vocabulary development and subject-specific language

• Writing skills, including sentence structure, paragraphing, and text organisation

• Spelling and grammar in context

• Speaking and listening skills to support classroom participation

Literacy learning is informed by formative assessment and aligned with the Australian Curriculum (Version 9), supporting students to access curriculum content with increasing confidence and independence.

The SEL component of WIN explicitly teaches the skills students need to manage themselves, build positive relationships, and engage effectively in learning. Lessons are developmentally appropriate and often delivered through discussion, reflection, and practical, scenario-based activities.

Key focus areas include:

• Self-awareness and emotional regulation

• Stress management and help-seeking strategies

• Goal setting and growth mindset

• Positive relationships, respect, and empathy

• Decision-making and responsible behaviour

SEL lessons align with the Personal and Social Capability of the Australian Curriculum and support student wellbeing, engagement, and readiness to learn.
