Learning Enhancement 

MEET THE TEAM FOR 2017!

This year, the college is offering an exciting new program.  Learning Enhancement will be running at Year 7 and 8 to support students with the increased literacy demands of secondary college study. 

This program is coordinated by Kelly Meikle.  The teaching team consists of: Nic Grimster, Karie Hullin, Kelly Meikle and Erica Sherlock. 

Students are selected for inclusion in the program based on information collected from feeder primary schools, data collected here at the college, anecdotal teacher observations and parent / student referral.

Once a student has been accepted into the program, their commitment will extend for a five week block.  They will be required to attend Learning Enhancement small group classes at regular times within that five week block.  At the end of the five weeks, students will be assessed to ascertain whether their literacy skills have improved. 

At this point, students may have acquire sufficient skill so as to no longer be included or it may be decided that the students should continue in Learning Enhancement for a further five weeks.  If no growth is evident, we will endeavour to make the required changes to support growth. 

This may necessitate further testing, or referral to other departments within the school.
