Behind the scenes, the inclusion team has been diligently preparing for our inaugural PINK (Parents for Inclusion of Neurodivergent Kids) parent event. We're thrilled about what we have planned but aren't ready to share the details just yet.

 

In the meantime, please mark Thursday 1 August on your calendar and stay tuned for more updates!


Lego Club

Some members of the Lego Club have taken on the exciting challenge of creating a stop-motion film. To bring this project to life, we need to expand our team. If your son is interested in building with Lego, filming, or editing, we want him to join us!

 

Lego Club meets every Tuesday during recess and lunch in the MRC. Encourage your son to come along and be a part of this creative project!


Invisible Disabilities

The concept of neurodiversity helps us appreciate that individuals experience the world in unique ways. Humans have always been diverse, but recognising and embracing this diversity is a more recent development. It's now understood that accepting and encouraging neurodiversity allows individuals to thrive and contributes to a stronger, healthier society.

 

In Australia, 90 per cent of disabilities are invisible. An invisible disability refers to a physical, mental, or neurological condition that isn't apparent externally but can impact a person's movements, senses, or daily activities.

 

Many neurodivergent learners face the challenge of having their needs, and the emotions tied to them, often overlooked. This underscores the importance of accommodations for these students, as they are crucial for creating a level playing field. It's essential for these students to understand the accommodations they are entitled to and to be able to advocate for them effectively and constructively. The inclusive education team are always available to assist your child with this.
