What is inclusion?
Inclusive education means that all members of our school community are valued and supported to fully participate, learn, develop and experience success within an inclusive school culture.
We support funded students to access the curriculum with classroom support, working with teachers and external workers
Students may present with challenges that can impact on their ability to function fully in the classroom. We work closely with the student, their families, teachers, and external workers to support the student. Some of these challenges may include:
Auditory processing issues
Poor concentration
Lack of understanding and focus
Poor literacy and numeracy skills
Mutism
Poor Social skills/lack of empathy
Withdrawn and isolated

We facilitate Student Support Group meetings and implement strategies and recommendations coming out of the meeting.
