Learning Enhancement 

Dear Parents, Students, Staff, and the Wider St John’s Community,

I am excited to take this opportunity to introduce myself and my role as a Learning Enhancement Leader at St John’s Regional College. This marks the beginning of an exciting journey—one that is focused on ensuring every student has access to the right opportunities to flourish and reach their full potential.

What is Learning Enhancement?

At St John’s, we believe that every student deserves an educational pathway that challenges, supports, and inspires them. Some students show exceptional ability in particular areas and must have access to the right resources, programs, and opportunities to stay engaged, motivated, and connected. The Teacher Resource Guide for Gifted & Talented Students (CEM, 2019) states that highly able students “require adjustments to their educational program” to ensure they remain active and engaged learners.

Our Vision for Learning Enhancement

Short-term goals:

• Identifying students who consistently perform above or well above standard
• Recognising their unique strengths and talents
• Providing tailored opportunities for them to excel
• Exploring new pathways and subjects that could enhance our curriculum

Medium & long-term goals:

• Embedding specialised programs and pathways into our curriculum
• Creating opportunities that encourage students to aim higher and achieve more
• Ensuring every student feels challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their best

At St John’s, we are committed to raising the bar and enriching the learning experience. We aim to foster a culture where every student is encouraged to reach for the stars through new initiatives, enhanced curriculum offerings, and a strong focus on individual growth.

I look forward to working with students, families, and staff to bring this vision to life. If you have any questions or want to know more about our Learning Enhancement initiatives, please feel free to reach out.

Mr. Andrew Dias

Learning Enhancement Leader
