Our teachers are mindful of students’ social, emotional, spiritual and academic development. We aim to create a learning environment where students are able to access the curriculum, have opportunities to contribute to class discussions and participate in class activities.
The team also works closely with the Head of Careers and Pathways, our school psychologists and Aboriginal Education Mentor. This collaborative approach ensures communication and sharing where parents and professionals work together, supporting each other to provide a learning environment that is differentiated and accessible.
This team is led by the Head of Specialised Learning, Mrs Tammy Campbell, and in the Senior College the team is comprised of Specialised Learning Case Managers Mr Rodrigo De La Hoz (Year 10), Mrs Naomi Davey (Year 11) and Mr Adam Cassidy (Year 12) and Teacher Aides Mrs Roberta Viant, Ms Emily Clear and Ms Terri Katakouzinos.
