Special Needs
 At Glenelg School
we are committed to supporting all students to reach their full
potential. Some students through learning disability require extra
support to achieve success, happiness and inclusion. This support is
most effective when families and teachers work in partnership.
Students that have had a comprehensive Learning Assessment or Social and
Emotional Assessment with a Departmental Educational Psychologist
(Guidance Officer) and/or Speech and Language Assessment with a
Departmental Speech Pathologist are eligible for support. These students
receive a Negotiated Education Plan (NEP) and have teacher time
allocated with the Special Education Teacher (Some students through the
assessment process may have already been verified at the pre-school
level). The Special Education Teacher will; conduct an NEP meeting with
the parent and appropriate staff members and work directly on the
learning requirements as determined by the NEP and assessment
recommendations. This may mean in class, small group and/or individual
support for the student.

Funtastics
WHAT IS IT?
The program is a course of activities designed to assist the development of gross motor skills in Reception to
Year 2 students. It was written by the
South Australian Physical Education Branch for students who need support with
coordination. All reception students are pre-tested to determine if they would benefit joining
the
program long or short term.
BENEFITS
This fun and energetic program ensures that all students are skilled to
participate and be successful in class based PE programs, schoolyard games and
general junior sports.
Along with the obvious benefits to
coordination, balance and strength the
children are expected to improve in; concentration, understanding of spatial
concepts, listening skills, self confidence and social skills.
HOW
IT WORKS AT GLENELG
We conduct 2 x 20 minute sessions per week run by the
special needs teacher or a trained School Services Officer (SSO) assisted by either
adult volunteer helpers or senior students from year 6 or 7. Funtastics
provides the extra benefit of cross age peer tutoring and
relationship building.
