Student Support
Student Support
The Department of Education is this year rolling out a new funding model to finance students with additional learning needs. This will provide schools with greater flexibility in delivering support. As a result, we are reviewing our current model, seeking feedback from stakeholders and researching ways we can improve our support to therefore improve student outcomes. We have had some constructive conversations with parents and welcome feedback from our community. If you would like to make a contribution, please contact the school. We are also exploring targeted literacy interventions and the best options for out site and will share this information as it comes to hand.
Transition Brokers. If your student has an identified learning need or an Individualised Learning Plan (or NEP, One Plan), they may be eligible to seek the support or a transition broker, some of whom were in attendance at our recent Expo. These organisations can provide a range of support depending on your student’s needs. This may vary from simply assisting with the development of a resume, to helping organise work experience or providing extra support and training in the work place. These groups can subsidise employers to support students transitioning into the work force. Our most recent success is a year 12 student who has secured 15 hours of part time work which he will combine with completing his SACE this year. Please have a look at the sites below and contact me at the school if you would like further information.
