At Mount Annan Christian College, we believe that God has given all people gifts in a variety of areas. Every student has a God given purpose and plan for a positive and fulfilling life. It is the responsibility of the Support Team at Mount Annan Christian College to help every student realise their individual worth and potential and to grow into the person that God intended.

Our aim is to ensure that students with special needs are included in the school program and are given every opportunity to learn along with their classmates. Additional support is provided either in the classroom or within small groups.

Support may be via a teacher’s aide or via technology. Individual programs are developed to bridge gaps in learning; adjustments are made to teaching and learning activities and assessment tasks. Special provisions are organised for examinations and assessment tasks for students who need them.

Life Skills courses are offered for a small percentage of students with special education needs for whom the regular outcomes and content of Board Developed and/or Board Endorsed courses are not appropriate.

The Life Skills courses can be undertaken in combination with other Board Developed and/or Board Endorsed courses to meet the requirement for the award of the School Certificate and the Higher School Certificate.

Our school is committed to the ongoing training and professional development of teachers in the area of special education. Our class teachers adapt their teaching styles to cater for students with special needs.

We work collaboratively with students, families and specialists to achieve the best education for students with special needs.
