Learning Support
Randwick Boys’ High School encourages students to take the initiative to ask teachers for extra assistance with remediation or enrichment, both inside and outside of class time.
Other avenues of Learning Support include:
Learning Support Team
The Learning Support Team (LST) facilitates and coordinates a whole school approach to meeting the high support needs of some students. The role of the LST is to coordinate referrals from both inside and outside the school and plan, implement and monitor student outcomes.
A student may be referred to the LST if he
- has a disability (eg intellectual, physical, sensory, language, autism)
- has major behaviour/social/adjustment problems
- is a gifted and talented student who is underachieving
- has specific learning problems not attributable to ESL factor.
