Our Commitment
Supporting every learner
Our school is committed to providing a range of learning support services to ensure every student can thrive. We encourage families to share any diagnoses or concerns with us so we can work together to create the best possible learning experience.
Our goal is to foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student is empowered to reach their full potential.
Learning Support Coordinator
The Learning Support Coordinator plays a key role in supporting students with learning disabilities by:
Creating individualised learner profiles tailored to students' specific needs.
Assisting teachers in developing Individual Education Plans (SEN plans) to support student learning.
Collaborating with teachers, parents, and external agencies to provide additional support.
Our Services
How we support students
Learner Profiles
Individualized learner profiles are developed for students with diagnosed specific learning disorders and shared with teaching staff.
SEN Planning
Where the mainstream curriculum is not suitable, students may receive goal-based SEN planning and reporting tailored to their learning needs.
Literacy & Numeracy
Dedicated Literacy and Numeracy Coordinators oversee OLNA preparation in upper school. Year 7 students needing support benefit from the MacQLit program.
Transition Support
The Learning Support Coordinator works closely with partner primary schools to ensure smooth and comprehensive transitions for students with special needs.
Therapy Access
Students requiring therapy services during school hours may request access to time and space within the school timetable, subject to staffing availability.
Education Assistants
A dedicated team of Education Assistants, led by the Lead Education Assistant, provides classroom support across all learning areas and year levels.
Transition – Special Needs
Starting High School with confidence
The Learning Support Coordinator collaborates closely with our partner primary schools and incoming parents to ensure a smooth and comprehensive transition for students with special needs. Additional transition days can be arranged based on individual requirements, providing tailored support.
Parents are encouraged to contribute to their child's learner profile, working in partnership with the Learning Support Coordinator and Year Coordinator to create a personalised plan.
Our dedicated Education Assistant team is available to support students during the two transition days in Term Four, as well as any additional time as needed. This ensures every student feels confident and prepared for high school.
