Learning Support

Assumption College prides itself on its inclusivity and celebration of diversity. We recognise that every student learns differently and that learning support is most effective when it responds to the individual.

‘Learning diversity’ refers to the infinite variety of life experiences and attributes a child brings to their formal learning at school. This includes academic ability, cultural background, language, wellbeing, and learning preferences.

Our Personalised Learning team endeavours to support all students who would benefit from a personalised approach to supporting them to optimise their educational potential. This support extends across a broad range of needs, including students with diverse learning, cultural and support needs, together with those considered likely to achieve exceptional academic outcomes.

The Personalised Learning team consists of the Personalised Learning Leader, Personalised Learning Lead Teachers, a Speech Pathologist, Learning Support Officers and an Administration Officer. Together, this multidisciplinary team provides targeted, evidence-informed support across the College.

The team works closely with the Wellness Centre counsellors, Health Centre nurses, House Leaders, Learning Leaders, Learning Mentors, and the Pathways team to provide a holistic and collaborative approach to supporting all students.

Our Personalised Learning team works in partnership with students, parents/carers, teachers, and external support services, to ensure that students are supported to optimise their performance, and to achieve their social, spiritual, physical and academic goals.
