Individual Differences

Individual Differences staff work with teachers in their endeavour to provide best teaching and learning practice for all students.  They are accessible to staff for consultation and collaboration for curriculum differentiation.

Our whole school approach attempts to incorporate students in a learning environment which is inclusive of all.  Whilst a major focus of the program is catering for the needs of students with disabilities and highly able / gifted students, assistance is also sought by a wide range of mainstream students requiring long-term or temporary help or extension.
