Enrichment

Learning Enrichment Programme

The focus of the Learning Enrichment programme is to identify students with learning difficulties or those students who require extension in the early years and to provide teaching programmes to address these needs. An inclusive approach is valued and, at times, individual and small groups of students will be withdrawn for specific instruction.

In consultation with the Learning Support Coordinator, teachers provide modified learning programmes for students with individual learning needs.

The Learning Enrichment team uses an holistic approach by collaborating with allied health professionals, such as Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists, to integrate therapy targets into the school programme so learning outcomes are achieved. Additionally, students are referred to the School Counsellor for support, when necessary.

The role of the visiting School Psychologist is to help support teachers to design programmes of intervention. Additionally, they provide strategies for students who are dealing with social and emotional problems within the school context. Psychologists follow strict guidelines for professional conduct and client confidentiality.  These codes are monitored by the Psychologists' Registration Board of Western Australia.

Gifted and Talented Programme

The Gifted and Talented programme supports the needs of students who require academic extension and enrichment. Classroom teachers differentiate their programmes, with the assistance of the Gifted and Talented Education Coordinator, to extend student learning as required.

A range of programmes that support the class programmes and give students opportunities to work independently on research tasks and develop high-order thinking skills are provided. Students are also encouraged to participate in a variety of external competitions and exams.
