Students with Disability

Home Learning Students with Disability

At Ocean View College, students with disabilities and diverse learning needs are supported through inclusive and individualised supports and they have access to targeted social and academic interventions.

By integrating external support services and fostering collaboration among classroom teachers, school support officers and families, Ocean View College creates a learning environment that works to remove barriers and maximise each student’s academic, social, and emotional potential. There are two Inclusive Education teams within the school: R-6 and 7-12. These teams work together and develop programs to ensure students receive required support throughout their schooling.

Special options

Inclusive Education classes provide targeted support for students who require extensive adjustments to the curriculum. Ocean View College has three Special Options classes for students in:

  • Primary Years (Year 3-6)
  • Middle Years (Year 7-9)
  • Senior Years (Year 10-12)

The process for enrolment in one of our Special Classes is managed by the Department for Education. For further information please contact the relevant Inclusive Education Coordinator.

Individual needs

Students with disabilities and learning difficulties are supported to achieve their potential and explore viable post school pathways. Identified students participate in a range of numeracy, literacy and social and emotional skill development.

Students are referred to DfE support services for assessment for disability verification and to inform differentiated teaching practice based on their individual needs. A team of committed and professional School Services Officers facilitate intervention programs and 1:1 support based on these needs.
