Prior to enrolment, some students are assessed to determine their need for specialised support and the extent of that support. The Support Services team collaborates with teachers and parents to provide an inclusive network that allows students to learn within the mainstream with special arrangements that focus on the growth of the individual and promote attitudes of self-worth and achievement. For students requiring teaching and support in smaller class environments, the Student Services Centre (SSC) is offered, and progress is monitored regularly in consultation with classroom teachers and coordinators.
