Southern Christian College is committed to ensuring positive educational outcomes for all students.

We recognise that each student possesses a unique profile of strengths and areas for growth and development. The Learning Enhancement team works closely with students, teachers and parents to support diverse learners.

These may include high potential, gifted and talented learners whose knowledge and skill in one or more learning area is well beyond that of their peers. It also includes students with specific learning needs who require adjustments or modifications to ensure they experience success.   

The Learning Enhancement faculty supports students by overseeing individual assessments, differentiation by teachers, co-ordinating Teachers’ Aides to work alongside teachers and liaising with parents and other professionals who support our students. The aim is to be flexible in providing maximum assistance in the least obtrusive manner, to maintain the dignity of each student and see their confidence for learning flourish. 

Most of the focus for diverse learners is provided by differentiating learning in the classroom. This means that, while a class may all be working in the same learning area and participating in shared learning activities, some students may be working with different content, curriculum levels or aiming towards different assessment criteria.

Small group opportunities are also provided for students. High potential and gifted students may work on intensive challenge projects or participate in a wide range of inter-school competitions.  The College also offers intensive support programs for students requiring additional instruction to master critical literacy and numeracy skills.
