Embracing Diversity
We embrace the diversity of our students and develop programs to support their particular learning needs.
Learning Diversity Centre
The Learning Diversity Centre (LDC) at Servite College is committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for students with diverse learning needs and disabilities. The Centre provides a respectful, accessible space where students are empowered to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
The LDC features three dedicated classrooms, a Sensory Room for self-regulation, a space for onsite therapy sessions, and an independent living suite for practical life skills programs delivered through the Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network (ASDAN). These facilities are designed to accommodate students with a wide range of abilities and encourage engagement in learning with the support of specialist teachers and Education Assistants.
Inclusivity
Fostering inclusive learning environments
In the Junior Years (Years 7-8), students engage in core subjects such as Literacy, Numeracy, Religion, Science, HASS, and ASDAN, with opportunities to participate in mainstream electives including Digital Technologies, Woodwork, Drama, and Music. Inclusion is a priority, with students actively integrated into the wider school community through Homeroom, Pastoral Care Programs, Camps, Retreats, Masses, Liturgies, and Assemblies.
In the Middle Years (Years 9-10), students continue their core subjects while expanding their learning with additional electives and the Enterprise Course, which focuses on practical business skills and real-world applications.
Senior Years (Years 11-12) include modified Preliminary Courses in English, Mathematics, Religion, Health and Physical Education, Food Technology, and Art and Design. Students also have the opportunity to gain a Certificate I qualification and participate in Workplace Learning, supporting their transition to further education, training, or employment.
Each student has an Individual Education Plan (IEP), thoughtfully and collaboratively developed to meet their unique learning goals. Our personalised and inclusive approach fosters a nurturing environment where every student is empowered to reach their full academic, social, and personal potential—building confidence, independence, and transferable life skills.
