Additional learning support

At Casino Public School, we are committed to making sure every student feels prepared and supported to learn and succeed. We understand that every child learns differently, and we work hard to create an environment where all students can thrive.

We provide support for students who have disabilities or additional learning needs. Your child can receive extra help anytime, even without a formal diagnosis or medical report.  This support is designed to help them participate fully in all areas of school life - whether it’s in the classroom, during lunchtime activities, sports, or school events. Our goal is to ensure that every student feels included and has the chance to do their best.

Support can begin at any time during your child’s schooling, whether they’re just starting school or in later years.

Our team includes teachers, support staff, and specialists who collaborate to support your child’s learning and well-being. We encourage parents and families to be involved in this process because working together helps your child succeed.

If you have any questions or want to learn more about how we can support your child, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We are here to help!

Support that fits your child's needs

Some students need extra support to feel confident and do their best at school. We work closely with families to make support plans and adjustments  that suits each child’s needs.

Additional learning support can include:

• teachers and support staff working together with families (and students, if needed)
• specialist support for students learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D)

• providing tailored programs to help high potential and gifted students with their advanced learning needs

• small group tutoring to provide targeted literacy and numeracy support for students

• regular check-ins to review and update the planned supports

• changes to the classrooms:

  • accessible classrooms
  • assistive technology
  • instructional resources

• extra guidance, simpler content or different focus during lessons

• assessment adjustments:

We know when a student needs help when:

• teachers notice changes in learning or behaviour
• reviewing assessment results and learning progress
• parents and carers raise concerns or ask for support.

Adjustments are reviewed regularly and changed when needed.  If you think your child may need extra help, contact us.
