Commitment to Learning Equity
MacKillop Catholic College is committed to providing learning opportunities that draw on the strengths of each of our students. Our experienced Learning Support team provides significant help to students and staff.
Our Learning Enhancement teachers work in the Learning Hub and the Rice Resource Centre to provide academic, social and emotional support to a large number of students throughout the year. Learning Enhancement Teacher Assistants also provide extra help during the assessment periods or will work with small groups on personalised programs.
Support is also extended to students who would benefit from an extension or extra challenges. Our Learning Extension teachers will work with groups or individuals to extend learning within the curriculum and beyond.
Support for Learning
In line with our College behaviour expectations – Be Engaged, Be Respectful, Be your Best – subject teachers work with all students to ensure there is engagement in all areas of learning.
Teachers and Learning Enhancement staff are available to all students and parents/caregivers to give help and support for assignments and homework.
