At AIS, we provide specialist support to meet the individual needs of our students. We recognise that every student learns differently and learning programs should be flexible and tailored to individual needs.
Our team of highly trained staff in Support Services provide specialist assistance to students requiring support in the following areas:
Prior to enrolment, students are assessed to determine their need for specialised support and the extent of that support. Placements for students requiring special services are reserved for families where all children attend AIS.
The Support Services team works collaboratively with teachers and parents to provide an inclusive support network that allows students to learn within the mainstream, with special arrangements that focus on the growth of the individual and promote attitudes of self worth and achievement.
Inclusion is the key to our special needs program at AIS, where students can access mainstream classes and the wide range of curriculum options. Each student’s needs are assessed and specialised learning programs are planned.
For students requiring teaching and support in smaller class environments, an Alternative Learning Centre is offered.
Our Support Services staff work at all year levels throughout the school to help cater for students’ individual needs. Students needing extra help can be identified by self referral, parent referral, teacher referral, testing or academic performance.
To ensure students receive the support they need, we monitor each student’s progress regularly, in consultation with classroom teachers and coordinators.
