Staff Team
Each classroom has an appointed classroom teacher and several Education Assistants. Additional specialist staff are appointed for the support and delivery of specialised subjects such as music, dance, gardening, cooking, science and PE.
Our Education Assistants develop a comprehensive knowledge of our students and are integral in supporting generalisation of skills between the classroom and other contexts. Our EAs are active in discussions and the development of individual achievement and whole school improvement.
All staff are qualified and/or trained in a range of Special Educational Needs specific programs such as TEACCH, low technology Assistive and Augmentative Communication (AAC), Team Teach and explicit teaching strategies.
Key teacher leaders progress whole school development and implementation of identified school priorities. This may include working 1-1 with staff, through the development of resources and delivery of workshops. Key learning is often extended to families to promote a successful home/school practice.
Our front office is supported by experienced and welcoming School Officers. They are knowledgeable, contribute towards school planning and actively seek communication and feedback with families.
We employ a School Psychologist to undertake assessment and reporting and to lead whole school learning as required.
A Community School Nurse is available and undertakes On-Entry Assessments for children in K and PP in consultation with families. The Nurse is available to provide assistance, support and information on an as needs basis.
All members of our team work collaboratively with external therapists and support providers in the development and delivery of individualised student support.
