Special education
Our school utilises an Education adjustment program (EAP) to identify the individual needs of all of its students. Individual education programs (IEP) are then formulated and reviewed in mid-year to frame individualised learning goals for each student.
Early phase of learning
Our school is committed to the delivery of an integrated learning program that incorporates an early phase of learning philosophy. Our school understands that the early years of schooling is fundamental in establishing a student’s philosophy of learning. A student’s attitude to learning, their skills in engaging learning environments, and their ability to integrate their understanding of cultural environments with classroom learning derives from early schooling experiences. Our school is also enthusiastic about the concept of ‘learning being fun’. We aim to create learners who enjoy and take pleasure from participating in our school’s learning environment.
Middle phase of learning
Our school recognises that its students in the middle phase of learning are experiencing physical, emotional, intellectual and social changes different to earlier childhood stages of development and that these changes affect the students’ engagement of the learning environment. This may be a stage where students become less enthusiastic about learning and disengage from learning environments.
The middle phase of learning also encompasses students’ progression from primary to secondary years of schooling. Our school is committed to creating a learning environment that is understanding of developmental issues and incorporates motivational strategies to scaffold development of ‘self’ skills and commitment to learning.
