Special Needs Students
​

The college’s Special Needs Coordinator, Jennifer Trinh, works with our integration aides and teaching staff to both provide direct support for, and develop specific programs to assist, students with special needs.

Our aim is to:

• Acknowledge and respond to the importance of students with special needs feeling they have, and being seen as having, equal access to the educational opportunities available at the school.
• Encourage interaction and socialisation with peers.
• Offer students the fullest opportunity to participate in regular class activities. This may of times involve some program modification. Student reporting reflects this modification and aims to acknowledge student progress.

Students with Learning Difficulties:

The college’s work in this area is coordinated by Claire Feain. Claire liaises with teachers to develop a range of teaching strategies that support the learning of students with learning difficulties. She also co-ordinates the college’s use of the Lexia Reading Program.
