This school believes that all children have a right to be educated in a regular school and that their education be dependent of their varying requirements. It is anticipated that children’s needs will be met within the school. The school is committed to equal participation of parents, teachers, Principal and student (where applicable) to discuss regularly the child’s schooling. We believe that every child can learn and be taught given appropriate resources and expertise.

• Identifying, organising and providing appropriate resources within the school.
• Sharing responsibility between parents, teachers, Principal and student (where applicable.)
• Continually striving to improve the quality of the school’s teaching and of the child’s learning.
