LEARNING DIVERSITY
At St. John’s, we proudly and actively embrace every child’s unique learning journey. We are dedicated to creating inclusive, supportive environments where every learner feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed. Our educators, Learning and Teaching Team, and Care Team continuously monitor each child’s progress and development, working in partnership with families to put tailored support in place whenever needed.
Our support strategies include:
Personalised Learning Plans (PLPs):
Clear, individualised learning goals designed to foster your child’s ongoing growth.
Differentiated Learning:Adapting everyday tasks so every child can access the curriculum at their level.
Targeted & Reinforcement Groups:Focused small-group learning sessions to build new skills or strengthen understanding.
Program Support Group (PSG) Meetings:Regular meetings between families and educators to review progress together.
Transition Support:
Guidance to help children feel confident when starting Prep or moving into Year 7.
Intervention Programs:Targeted support in key areas such as Literacy and Numeracy.
Lunchtime Clubs & Social Support:Facilitated breaktime activities and extra adult supervision and guidance during outdoor play.
Allied Health Partnerships:On-site access to Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, and Psychology sessions (provided in partnership with DKM Psychology and DeeWardrop Speech Pathology Services).
Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD): Each August, schools across Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). The NCCD counts the number of children who receive extra support or learning adjustments at school. This information helps school leaders, education authorities, and governments better understand school needs and allocate funding appropriately. At St. John’s, our NCCD submission is built on careful observation and collaborative review throughout the school year.
