A Special Education Unit operates in the school. The Unit is designated for:

 

·        Intellectual Impairment (II)

·        Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

·        Speech Language Impairment (SLI)

 

However, the Unit also supports students with Hearing Impairment, Visual Impairment and Physical Impairment. The Unit runs on a maximised integration policy and Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are developed, monitored and reviewed for each student working in the Unit. Students are supported in classes and in designated withdrawal times:

 

Year 8                         students are withdrawn from LOTE

Other Year Levels     students are withdrawn from one line of their   timetable (this is negotiated)

Support may also include but is not necessarily limited to:

 

·        Subject modification (including assessment) where appropriate

·        Test reading assistance where necessary

·        Assistance with organisational/personal skills

 

The Unit maintains students within the scope of school policy/policies. For further information please contact one of the following staff members:
