GAHS LEARNER SUPPORT POLICY

Glen Austin High School aims to provide quality tuition through means of a child centred approach.  In doing so, we aim to maximise the potential of individuals and ensure that learners of all ability levels are equipped to meet the challenges of education.  This includes cognitive, social, emotional and physical development.  Inclusive education aims to identify and remove all possible barriers to learning.
To achieve this it is necessary for all stakeholders to be involved:  teachers, parents and learners. 

Often learners are faced with challenges in the learning process that are a result of a broad range of experiences in the classroom, at school, at home, in the community, and/or as a result of health conditions or disability. These challenges are referred to as ‘barriers to learning and development’.
