Inclusive Education
Committed to all students
We are committed to meeting the needs of all students.
Our inclusive education support ensures all students can access the curriculum and fully participate in school life through:
- Personalised Plan for Learning (PPL’s)
- parental involvement
- providing additional teacher support in class
- specialist literacy and numeracy programs
- adjustments to curriculum delivery and assessment for students.
Support for students with learning needs is offered in an inclusive and supportive way by specialist subject teachers within the classroom in a way that meets each student’s needs.
Literacy and Numeracy Support
Literacy and numeracy skills are critical parts of a child’s development.
Xavier College places great emphasis on the development of literacy and numeracy skills. Data is used to inform teaching practice to target students at their specific skill level, in order to explicitly teach skills and strategies required to understand and apply knowledge and content.
Students also participate in the NAPLAN (National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy) and PAT (Progressive Achievement Tests) testing.
Gifted and Talented
At Xavier College, students are provided with opportunities to further enhance their development in learning experiences which can help them to develop and flourish.
Within the classroom, teachers use differentiated teaching and assessment to enable gifted and talented students to both extend and develop their strengths.
Students who demonstrate high intellectual potential are encouraged to further develop their specific talents through stimulating programs like Tournament of Minds, Cosmic Camp and a number of state and national subject-specific competitions and extra-curricular opportunities.
Requesting Allied Health Services
Families seeking to engage allied health or other support services during school hours on school grounds, including those funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), are required to follow the Privately Engage Service Provision in Schools process. This process ensures that services are delivered in partnership with the College and in a way that supports student learning and wellbeing, while maintaining a safe and respectful school environment.
- To request privately engaged service provision at Xavier College, families must complete the Parent/Guardian Request Form and email it to the Inclusive Education Coordinator at your child’s campus.
- The request will be reviewed by the Principal, and if approved in principle, an Agreement will be provided.
- Families then complete the Agreement with their service provider and return it, along with any supporting documentation, to the Inclusive Education Coordinator.
- Once the agreement is finalised and signed by the Principal, the service provider must complete a site induction before they can begin delivering services at school.
If you have any questions or require support understanding the process, please contact our Inclusive Education Team. While families are responsible for completing the documentation in conjunction with their service provider, we are happy to offer guidance and answer any questions along the way.
