WHY DISABILITY INCLUSION MATTERS

Promotes Equity: Disability inclusion ensures that all students have the same opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. It is a crucial step towards achieving educational equity. Builds Empathy and Understanding: Inclusive environments help all students develop empathy and understanding towards their peers with disabilities. This fosters a more compassionate and supportive school community. Enhances Learning for All: Inclusive teaching practices benefit all students, not just those with disabilities.

Enhanced Individual Education Plans (IEPs): We are dedicated to improving and developing IEPs that accurately reflect each student's unique needs and the supporting strategies required for their success. Integration with Compass: We have successfully rolled out IEPs onto Compass, ensuring that these essential documents are easily accessible and manageable. Standardised Recording Processes: The College has implemented whole - school recording processes to accurately track and document student levels of adjustment, enhancing our ability to provide tailored support. Strengths - Based Student Support Group Meetings: We have focused on running meaningful, strengths - based Student Support Group meetings involving students and their parents/carers. These meetings are designed to celebrate each student's strengths and collaboratively plan for their success.
