At Rockingham SHS Education Support Centre we provide out students with individual learning programs which are negotiated with parent/caregivers. These programs are formalised in an Individual Learning Plan, which allows student goals to be set and monitored for individual progress.
As the Education Support Centre is a shared campus with Rockingham Senior High School, this provides our students with an opportunity for integration and inclusion, through participation in whole school activities and the chance to take part in mainstream classes.
Students develop personal and social capability as they learn to understand themselves and others, and manage their relationships, lives, work and learning more effectively. The personal and social capability involves students in a range of practices including recognising and regulating emotions, developing empathy for and understanding of others, establishing positive relationships, making responsible decisions, working effectively in teams and handling challenging situations constructively.
Many students with disability are able to achieve educational standards commensurate with their peers, as long as the necessary adjustments are made to the way in which they are taught and to the means through which they demonstrate their learning.
In some cases curriculum adjustments are necessary to provide equitable opportunities for students to access age-equivalent content in the Australian Curriculum: English. Teachers can draw from content at different levels along the Foundation to Year 10 sequence. Teachers can also use the extended general capabilities learning continua in Literacy, Numeracy and Personal and social capability to adjust the focus of learning according to individual student need.
All students are entitled to rigorous, relevant and engaging learning programs drawn from the Australian Curriculum: English. Teachers take account of the range of their students’ current levels of learning, strengths, goals and interests and make adjustments where necessary. The three-dimensional design of the Australian Curriculum, comprising learning areas, general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities, provides teachers with flexibility to cater for the diverse needs of students across Australia and to personalise their learning.
