4.Students with special needs
As is the case for all enrolling students, it is a condition of enrolment that the parents of a child with special needs shall make the College fully aware of the known disability at the time that the Application for Enrolment is made.
The College may adjust its policies, practices and facilities as is reasonably necessary. This is to ensure that the student with special needs is treated on the same basis as other students provided that such adjustment is reasonable and does not impose any unjustifiable hardship on the College.
If an applicant with special needs requires an adjustment to the College’s policies, practices or its facilities, the College will meet with the family to determine what adjustments may be necessary. The College will gather information that might assist in understanding the applicant’s needs and consider how the College’s policies, practices and/or facilities should be modified to accommodate the applicant. Such information would normally include a full report from the specialists currently working with the student and the results of any past testing and will ordinarily address:
the nature of any diagnosed or suspected medical condition/disability, or any other circumstances that are relevant to the child’s additional learning needs (for example, giftedness or an experience of trauma);
the nature of any additional assistance that is recommended/appropriate to be provided to the child (for example, medical or specialist equipment, specialist referrals, specific welfare support, modifications to the classroom environment or curriculum, aide assistance, individual education programs, behaviour support plans or other educational interventions as may be relevant);
the individual physical, functional, emotional or educational goals that are appropriate to the child, and how the parents/guardians and the College will work in partnership to achieve these goals; and
any limitations on the College’s ability to provide the additional assistance
As every child’s educational needs can change over time, it will often be necessary for the College to review any additional assistance that is being provided to the child, in consultation with parents/guardians and the child’s treating medical/allied health professionals, in order to assess whether:
the additional assistance remains necessary and/or appropriate to the child’s needs;
the additional assistance is having the anticipated positive effect on the child’s individual physical, functional, emotional or educational goals; and it remains within the College’s ability to continue to provide the additional assistance, given any limitations that may exist.
