At Wondall Heights State School, we have high expectations of all students, recognising that, with the right support, all students can succeed. We have an inclusive school environment, removing barriers to learning wherever possible, and providing students with disability with tailored supports and reasonable adjustments. Students may be further supported by specialist staff such as Inclusion Teachers, Teacher Aides, or Guidance Officers and, where appropriate, referred for further support by Regional Staff.
Examples of tailored supports and reasonable adjustments may include:
• Access to movement breaks during sustained learning
• Tasks being broken down into smaller parts and presented singly
• Wellbeing check-ins
• Access to a scribe or use of technology to support a student to demonstrate their understanding
Students who require a higher level of support may access:
• An Individualised Curriculum Plan at a different year level to their grade
• Alternate modes of communication including AAC
• Social skills support
• Playground support
• Advisory Visiting Teacher support
Parents and Guardians are partners in learning who we invite to collaborate with school staff to develop Personalised Learning Plans for students. We invite external professionals and agencies working with children and families to contribute to stakeholder meetings and provide professional recommendations for consideration in the school environment. All students and families are welcomed, respected and included at our school. We embrace diversity as a strength and support respectful relationships within the school community.
