Learning Support
Helping Every Student Make Meaningful Progress
Individual Needs
Multi-tiered Support
Support may be provided within the classroom, through small-group withdrawal sessions, or via targeted intervention programs, guided by each student’s individual learning profile.
With a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, we use evidence-based approaches to help students strengthen foundational skills, build confidence, and work towards meaningful personal goals. Our aim is to support students not only in their academic progress, but also in their engagement, organisation, and readiness for ongoing learning.
Supported Program of Applied Readiness for Community
In addition to mainstream Learning Support, our Supported Program of Applied Readiness for Community (SPARC) operates at our Narre Warren Campus as an alternative pathway for suitable Secondary students.
This individualised, special education program is designed for students who experience significant academic and social challenges within a mainstream classroom setting. Delivered in a small-class environment, the program creates opportunities for students to learn and practice important life skills while developing functional literacy and numeracy, personal and social skills, and work-related capabilities.
Students follow highly individualised learning programs and progress at their own pace through practical, applied learning experiences that support community participation and vocational readiness. In addition to the academic program students engage in an Independent Living Camp, and activities such as cooking, shopping, gardening, using public transport, use of technology and running our SPARC Café.
Secondary students seeking entry into SPARC must meet specific eligibility criteria supported by relevant specialist documentation. Families interested in learning more about the program are encouraged to contact the College Admissions team for further information.
