Supporting students with disability
All students at Portland Secondary College are supported to be successful learners. Students with disability are eligible for additional assistance dependent on their needs through Disability Inclusion supports provided by the Department of Education
These supports may include curriculum support or adjustments, individual support in the classroom or for attending events, camps or excursions, or additional small group interventions to build independence and confidence in all areas of learning. These modified programs and interventions aim to build engagement and participation in the school.
For students requiring extensive assistance, the school will work with the family to seek additional funding to create unique student goals and reasonable adjustments within a targeted support program.
Specific student goals are set and evaluated by each student’s program support group (SSG), which includes the student, parent or carer, advocate (if requested), and education support staff. This group meets once per term or more often if required.
We are open to conversations about the best supports for your student and will seek the resources required to meet those needs.
