Supporting Students with Diverse Learning Needs

The College collaborates with parents, carers and students to ensure that students with diverse learning needs or disability can participate in College life on the same basis as students without disability.

Where there is a need or requirement identified during the enrolments process, the College engages in a collaborative planning process with the family. This is led by a Diverse Learning Teacher. The purpose of this process is to consult the family to understand the student’s specific needs and requirements at school, collaborate with other healthcare professionals or educators with respect to those needs, and identify potential solutions or adjustments to genuinely meet those needs. Through this dialogue both the family and the College will develop a shared understanding of the applicant’s specific requirements and the typical adjustments that can be expected should the family receive and accept an offer of enrolment.

The collaborative planning process usually results in any adjustments required being recorded in a document called an Individual Plan (IP). A draft IP is first shared with the family for their confirmation before being shared with class teachers in readiness for the commencement of the new student. The Diverse Learning Teacher is the family’s main contact regarding the IP’s implementation and review.

During the enrolments process, families who have questions about supports or adjustments related to disability can contact the Enrolments office or the Director of Diverse Learning.

The Disability Standards for Education

The College's approach to disability is informed by the Standards- legislation that describes a school’s obligations and the rights of students with a disability. We uphold the rights of students with disability to participate in College life, access curriculum, and receive general support on the same basis of students without disability. We affirm the rights of students with disability to access specialised support and enjoy an environment free from harassment or victimisation.

A concise summary of the Standards can be found here.
