Philosophy

At Calamvale Community College we believe that all learners have unique needs to consider when helping them to meet / exceed their academic and non-academic potential. The Inclusion Team applies approaches and support systems that address the individual needs and varied learning styles of all students, including those identified with learning differences. By recognizing the diversity of our collective learning community, the Learning and Engagement Program (LEP) support the holistic development of our students.

Purpose

To maintain open access for all students
To support our learning community to meet the educational needs of all students
To define the roles and shared responsibility of each stakeholder (class teachers, Inclusion teachers, students, parents and outside agencies)
To define the structures and systems needed to support all students
To align resources

Practice

At Calamvale Community College, all students receive instruction that enables them to succeed within the range of their approaches to learning, abilities and interests. Differentiation is seen as the process of identifying, with each learner, the most effective strategies for achieving learning goals and academic outcomes. Students with diverse needs are supported within classrooms. This includes tiered lessons, use of pre and post-assessments, formative assessments, as well as adjustments to enable access to the curriculum/activities. At Calamvale Community College we provide a variety of opportunities to affirm and support the diverse affective needs of students. We:
