Learning Support

Learning Support has continued to support staff and students this term in a variety of ways this term.

This term we have conducted all the Primary and Secondary Student Support Group (SSG) meetings.

These meetings replace the normal Parent Teacher Interview meetings. Thank you to parents for engaging with us in this capacity and partnering with us to enhance each student’s ability to access what they need and to grow.

The Term 2 dates for our ASD Parent Support Group meeting will be Wednesday 3rd May (Week 2) and Wednesday 14th June (Week 8) from 9:15am. Our primary aim is to provide an opportunity for parents to connect with other parents who are faced with the challenges of a child who has autism. This is a wonderful time for parents and staff to build community and a shared understanding. Everyone is welcome to attend. We look forward to seeing you.

We sadly farewell one of our secondary Learning Assistants this term. Debbie Herbert has been a wonderful part of the team at St Andrews and we are so sorry to see her leave. We wish her and her family God’s blessing as they head off to Western Australia.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Learning Support teachers. We are always willing to chat about how we can support your child to reach their potential.
