Learning Support

At Eleebana Public School, our Learning and Support Team is dedicated to ensuring that all students, including those with additional learning and support needs, have access to a quality education that meets their individual requirements. The team comprises a diverse group of professionals, including Learning and Support Teacher, school executives, SLSO’s (School Learning Support Officer) and school counsellors, who work collaboratively to support students with learning challenges and disabilities.

The primary role of the Learning and Support Team is to identify and address the unique needs of each student, ensuring that they can engage fully in their learning journey. This begins with early identification, where the team assesses students' strengths and areas for improvement. Through close collaboration with parents, teachers and external professionals, the team develops individualised learning plans that outline specific strategies and accommodations tailored to the child's needs. This may include modifications to the curriculum, classroom adjustments, small group interventions and additional support in the classroom.

Before your child starts school, it is important for parents to communicate any concerns regarding their child's development or learning needs. The classroom teacher serves as the initial point of contact. Sharing information about your child's strengths, challenges, and any previous assessments or support they may have received will help the Learning and Support Team provide the best possible assistance. Additionally, parents are encouraged to actively participate in meetings and discussions regarding their child's learning to ensure a cohesive approach to support.

Identification of learning support needs typically occurs through ongoing observations, assessments and feedback from teachers, parents, and the students themselves. This process can begin as early as the transition to school and continues throughout a student's educational journey, ensuring timely interventions and support strategies are implemented to facilitate optimal learning outcomes for every student. 

At Eleebana Public School, we believe in fostering an inclusive environment where every child has the opportunity to succeed. Our Learning and Support Team is here to work alongside families to provide the necessary support and resources, helping every student thrive both academically and socially as they embark on their school journey.
