Inclusive Education

We are committed to an inclusive and engaging learning environment that promotes a culture of bravery and success.

Inclusive education is a human right which is supported by law. All students, regardless of their ability, or their social, cultural, community and family background, must have access to fully participate in learning experiences on an equitable basis with their peers.

All children are learners and all children are unique.

We are determined that every student at Springbank Secondary College will reach their full potential. They will receive the adjustments and support required to ensure that they are active participants in a high-quality education. We do this by using the universal design for learning where students access learning at their ability level and engage in topics that interest or motivate them.

We monitor student progress and academic achievement, and ensure that students are provided with opportunities to engage with and stretch their learning.

Collaboration with students, families and the community

We work collaboratively with students, families and their support community so that all relevant expertise and perspectives are heard and considered. We ensure that all students can access and participate in all school activities, events and learning.

Committed and skilled staff

Our school leaders and staff are knowledgeable and empathetic professionals. We design engaging classroom environments that welcome a diverse range of learners and promote a culture of shared values. As much as possible, teachers offer a tailored, age-appropriate learning program for each student. Staff meet regularly to co-design curriculum and share knowledge about pedagogical approaches and assessment.
