Learning Support

Every child learns differently.

At St Anthony’s, we support students through a range of classroom strategies and school-wide programs designed to meet individual learning needs. Support may include:

• Small group learning
• Targeted reading programs
• Reading coaches
• Extension opportunities
• Lunchtime activities
   

Inclusive Education

Students with additional needs are supported through personalised programs, developed in partnership with families, staff and health professionals. Funding is available through the National Disability Guidelines, with applications processed at enrolment.

Our Inclusive Education Coordinator oversees support plans and transition visits from kindergartens or previous schools.

Literacy Support

We offer targeted literacy programs for students from Reception to Year 6, based on individual needs and learning styles. Support may be one-on-one or in small groups with a trained Educational Support Officer. Programs include:

• Leaping into Literacy (Fountas & Pinnell)
• Reading Coaches (Years 4–6)
• Fast ForWord (intervention and extension, Years 2–6)
• Reading Coaching (Reception and Year 1)
