Inclusive
Education

We warmly invite all learners to enrol and engage at our school. We partner closely with students, families and support services to ensure that our curriculum is actively inclusive of learners with additional needs, whether these be physical or cognitive disabilities.

Personalised Learning

Identified learners, their families and educators will work together each year to design and update a personalised learning plan called a ‘One Plan’ to ensure every child’s time at school enables them to achieve their potential.

One Plans Include

• The overarching rationale for having a personalised plan
• Discussion about the child’s strengths, interests, motivations and aspirations
• Personalised goals that support the learner to achieve the rationale of the plan over specified time periods
• Reasonable curriculum, instructional and environmental accommodations required for the child to access learning
• Documented support programs and interventions
• A record of Department and external services supporting the child
• Transition plans
• Other agreed actions.

One Plans give students and families voice to influence their child’s education. As their first teachers and best advocates, we warmly encourage families to actively engage in this process.
Teams Around our School
We have an outstanding team of Student Support Officers who work in close collaboration with our teachers, leadership team and Student Support Services to ensure access and engagement capacity for every learner.
Our teams meets regularly with:
• Inclusive Educators including those specialising in Hearing
• Speech Pathologists
• Behaviour Support Educators
• Educational Psychologists
• Aboriginal Leaders
• Student Wellbeing Specialists.

Interventions and Support Programs

We use early and preventative interventions, with teachers coached and supported to provide high quality instruction to all learners.
Our Deputy Principal works closely with teachers and Inclusion Support Lead SSOs to coordinate targeted academic interventions. We use strategic assessments to precisely identify student needs. Our Wellbeing Leader works closely with all staff to identify and coordinate targeted interventions to provide personal and social supports. Where required, this essential support enables children to access curriculum alongside their peers.

External Services

NDIS providers are invited to work with us to find a mutually convenient time to support student therapy sessions on site, where possible.

Autism Inclusion

Since Term 1, 2023, we have embraced the Autism Inclusion Teacher position by electing a passionate teacher with expertise in this field to undertake the role. Autism Inclusion Teachers provide support to our staff to effectively include Autistic learners in all facets of school life. They engage in world-class professional learning and partner with our community to develop ideas and opportunities that enable every learner to access and excel through their curriculum.

Inclusive Facilities

Our classrooms are all inclusively designed and fitted with sound-field systems that support learners with hearing difficulties to be able to hear comfortably in their environment. Classrooms are accessible via ramps for wheelchairs. We have a bathroom to cater for members of our community in wheelchairs.

Since 2023, we have introduced two Autism-friendly sensory and interoception spaces which can be accessed by learners to support them to identify, co-regulate and communicate their needs so that they may re-engage in their learning.

Personalised Water Safety Program

Eligible learners with disability are invited to participate in the weekly Personalised Water Safety Program.
