We have an established Learning Support program run by knowledgeable staff consisting of a dedicated coordinator, specialised teachers and caring Education Assistants (EA), who together, assist students by delivering targeted learning that often revolves around life skills and transition to employment.

Students with learning difficulties can be provided with additional support in their mainstream classes through the EA assistance, class strategies and documented plans.
