A Special Education Program (SEP) operates within the school. It
provides Personalised Learning Plans (PLPs) for students with a verified disability in the following categories:
Intellectual
Disability (ID)
Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Speech-Language
Impairment (SLI)
Hearing
Impairment (HI)
Vision
Impairment (VI)
Physical
Impairment (PI)
Additional support is
provided through Advisory Visiting Teachers (AVT) for students with a hearing,
vision or physical impairment.
The SEP runs as an Inclusive Program in line with A Whole School Approach to Support Student
Learning, with students participating in mainstream classes with their
peers and accessing differentiated teaching.
Each
student supported through the SEP will be allocated a Program Manager from within the Inclusive Education Teacher team who will act as the point of contact between school and home, and
facilitate adjustments and intervention where appropriate. Support may also
include, but is not necessarily limited to:
Modified
timetables where appropriate
Subject
modification (including assessment) where appropriate
Test
reading assistance where necessary
Assistance
with organizational / personal skills
Students in Years 11 and 12 have access to a Special Education Transition Coordinator who is
able to assist with school based traineeships/apprenticeships, work experience
and TAFE courses.
Transition
programs are run each year for the students coming from local Primary schools.
These occur during Term 3 and include half day visits by the students to school
in order to decrease anxiety for the start of Year 7.
