Quality teaching and complex student case management are SCHS priorities. The SCHS Learning Support Framework Local Implementation Guide captures the Learning Support Cycle of student case management at SCHS.
- Case management at SCHS is a continuum from admission to discharge/unenrolment - this document pulls what we have in multiple places into one framework.
- Coordinated Health and Education planning and support plans support student transition success.
The school learning and support team plays a key role in ensuring that the specific needs of students with disability and additional learning and support needs are met
- The composition of Learning and Support teams may vary as they are made up of members according to the needs of the school and community in which they work
- School counselling staff and learning and support teachers are most often ongoing members of a school’s LST
Purpose:
- Coordinate planning processes and resourcing for students with disability and additional learning and support needs, which may include health and wellbeing
- Design and implement the supports required to build teacher capacity so that all students access quality learning
- Develop collaborative partnerships with the school, parents and carers, other professionals and the wider school community
- Where schools have implemented ‘School-led multiagency responses’ or ‘School-initiated health and wellbeing alliances’, the LST acts as a key coordination point for referrals and on-going monitoring of outcomes for students following interventions.
