Learning Support
The Learning Support Centre at the College assists students from Years 5 to 12 who require additional educational support. Learning support provision is embedded within the College infrastructure and aims to support students, their families and teachers.
Special Needs Enrolment Guidelines
The College recommends before arranging an enrolment interview (usually two years prior to commencement) that parent’s contact the Enrolment Registrar to organise an interview with the Head of Learning Support. This is recommended for students with Ascertainments/Education Adjustment Programs in particular focus areas and/or students with a specific learning disability. This enables parents to have a clear understanding of the support available at the College prior to interview.
