Individual Needs

The Individual Needs Department at St Albans Secondary College are excited to advise parents, students and the wider community of a new website, packed full of great resources, information and ideas. 

Developed by the University of Canberra, in collaboration with all state and territory education authorities, the website is a general resource for students and their families about the rights, and support that schools can provide individuals, highlighting information such as: 

• The Disability Standards for Education 2005 are law and they apply to education providers in Australia.
• The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) protects people with a disability from discrimination.
• Students with allergies or chronic illness are protected by the DDA.

To find out more, visit http://resource.dse.theeducationinstitute.edu.au/ and bookmark the site for future use.

Should you have wish to discuss any of the content and how it impacts on your child at SACS, please do not hesitate to discuss with our Individual Needs Coordinator, Hannah Morton on 9947 3622.
