Additional Needs Program

Students With Additional Needs

Our Additional Needs program is designed to meet the unique learning needs of students who require individualised education programs (IEP). Diverse Education can be delivered in a variety of settings based on the student’s needs.

At Servite, our focus is primarily on the integration of students into the classroom, with the majority of our support focused within the classroom. We also offer withdrawal support on a needs basis, including focus classes in the areas of literacy and numeracy. The Additional Needs Centre includes a purpose-built Diverse Education Space with a kitchen, sensory room and meeting areas. Additional Needs students in the senior school are supported by this centre as well as through our ongoing use of flexible options. In Year 11 and Year 12, students access work skills and Vocational Education programs, focused literacy and numeracy classes and one-on-one support.

Inclusivity

Fostering inclusive learning environments

At Servite, we are committed to creating inclusive learning environments that support every student’s unique needs. We design programs that cater to a diverse range of learners, ensuring that all students—those with diagnosed disabilities, specific learning difficulties, or those who are gifted and talented—receive the support and opportunities they need to thrive. Our approach focuses on personalised learning, fostering growth, confidence, and success for all. Through tailored strategies, dedicated support, and a commitment to equity, we create an environment where every student feels valued, empowered, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Inclusivity is at the heart of education at Servite College.

Beyond the curriculum

Gifted and Talented Students

Extending students inside and beyond the curriculum is a key goal for identified Gifted and Talented (GATE) students. Students may be extended by:

  • In-class differentiation by the class teacher with assistance from Diverse Education staff
  • Participation in the GATE program – collaborating with peers and undertaking extension modules of work both at local and global levels
  • Invitation to participate in co-curricular programs eg. Tournament of Minds
  • Special programs run by the GATE Coordinator
  • Personalised extension projects to meet an individual’s needs
  • Accessing various external programs as they arise, e.g. university invitations to special programs, gifted and talented programs, subject-specific clubs, etc.
  • Acceleration – eg. participation in Extension Maths classes in their study
  • Linking with a mentor in a specific area of interest

Identification

The identification process has usually already begun once the student starts education in a high school setting. Handover of information from the primary school is essential in the transition process. Extra transition, above the norm for the year-level cohort, is offered to students identified as those who would benefit from additional time to settle into high school routines and orientate themselves with a new school setting. This could include:

  • School visits and meetings with primary teachers
  • Further observations of the student in their primary school
  • Family meetings
