Specialist Support Classes meet the faith, educational, social and wellbeing needs of students by providing a rigorous yet highly supported educational program for students with intellectual disabilities and complex needs. Students’ educational needs are met through:
- evidence-based strategies and resourcing
- individualised planning and goal setting
- highly skilled and experienced teachers
- engaging, holistic learning experiences
- smaller class sizes and a high teacher to student ratio
Every student is encouraged to excel in a multitude of ways, through personalised and self-paced learning, where student voice and special interests are incorporated into the class program.
Students enrolled in specialist support classes will be important, valued members of the school community and will be included in every aspect of the life of the school.
