Education Primary School
At Al ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ, student care and support are at the heart of our educational philosophy. We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.
All classroom teachers are trained to differentiate the learning to cater for a range of abilities in the class. Beyond this, we have two part-time teachers allocated to providing further in class support for identified students.
In addition, we also develop Individual Learning Plans for students who require further support than mainstream differentiation.
This is the opportunity for you to join us in exploring ideas of teaching literacy at home with your child.

This session will provide an overview and hands on experience for parents in assisting your child at home in the program. We highly encourage parents who have not attended this session last year to take some time of your busy schedule to join us in the workshop.
