Learning Support Updates   

Our Learning Support Team at Kings Meadows High have been busy collaborating with Learning Support teachers from primary schools to create well prepared and inclusive learning environments for students who are coming to Kings Meadows High School next year.  

These discussions help ensure that all learning plans from primary school are up to date and that our staff understand the learning needs of each student before they come to us.  We now have copies of all updated learning plans and these have been used to support the class placement process and the co-ordination of Teacher Assistant resourcing for Year 7 classes in 2025.  

Having our Learning Support Team promote discussions with primary schools in support of students with a disability is part of our commitment to work on the value of connection through building positive relationships and a sense of belonging within our school community.  

At the beginning of 2025 all teachers at Kings Meadows High School who teach a student with a learning plan are expected to read the learning plans of any students they teach and adjust their planning as needed to allow students access to the curriculum through differentiation of tasks and learning environment.  Further to this, in the first few weeks of high school, your child’s class teacher should make contact to start building strong partnerships between home and school.  Towards the end of Term 1, our staff will look more closely at each learning plan,making minor suggestions or adjustments based on their new understandings while further personalising goals and adjustments to our high school setting in collaboration with parents. 

We hope our work in learning support helps to build confidence in the processes that we use here at Kings Meadows High School to support students with a disability and supports any questions you might have in this area as parents. 

If you would like to talk further with a member of our Learning Support Team prior to next, year please feel free to phone the school and ask to talk with Mrs Kate Hume or Mr Nathan Karas, who will be able to assist you further.
