Learning Enhancement
Learning Enhancement links strongly into literacy and unites the essential skills of reading and writing. Learning is enhanced within the context of a student’s individual literacy needs from within their programme of learning.
A wide range of support is offered, aimed at scaffolding students’ learning appropriately to their needs. This includes…
The accurate placement of students into their ‘best fit’ learning programme:
- Personal enrolment interview allowing student and family input
- Diagnostic and other assessment information
- Transition support
Support within a wide range of curriculum classes for many students:
- Enhancing students’ understanding of literacy – the ability to read and write, to recognise and understand ideas, to think and express themselves as a pathway to their learning.
A wide range of learning support services, including:
- Academic Dean – extension of the curriculum and enrichment beyond it
- IEPs – for ORS students and those with significant special needs
- Literacy Teachers – providing both individual and group tutoring, delivering classroom programmes of learning
- Learning Support Profiles – to support students working independently
- Special Assessment Conditions – for eligible students
- Support Teachers – working with wide-ranging needs, which allows students to develop into self managing learners within school and beyond
