Extension & Learning Support

Meeting every child’s individual learning needs is central to our mission at Central Coast Grammar School. We believe every child is unique and has strengths and weaknesses that need to be identified and nurtured throughout their educational journey.

Our teachers understand that children develop at different rates at different times and have different learning styles and individual needs. Some children need more encouragement than others to ultimately achieve their full potential. Others thrive within an enriched curriculum that supports their talents.

Quality Extension and Learning Support is delivered across a broad range of subjects within the classroom throughout each school day. Operating across K-12, our Extension and Learning Support draws on the expertise of highly qualified specialist staff. Programs focus on explicit teaching, group work, independent study and hands-on activities, combined with a structure to review progress and offer support if necessary.

Learning Support staff utilise collaborative planning, team teaching and small group interventions within programs to deliver support in the classroom.

Support

To support student learning we use a range of standardised tests, observation techniques and curriculum based assessments to track student progress and diagnose learning needs. Where required, students may be referred for further assessment by specialists such as psychologists, paediatricians, speech therapists and occupational therapists.

Extension

In the Junior School students are extended across Mathematics, Literacy, HSIE and Science and Technology using strategies to compact and differentiate the curriculum.

Eligible students can take advantage of further opportunities in a range of external competitions designed for Gifted & Talented children and participate in the annual HICES Gifted & Talented Camp.
