How can my child access services from the Enrichment Department?

There are several ways in which a student can be identified as requiring support from the Enrichment Department.

1.  Enrolment: Many of these students are identified at enrolment, from information
that you provide on the Enrolment forms.

2. Standardised testing: We identify many students in our yearly testing, conducted in early term 1 each year.

3. Teacher referral: Class teachers will often refer to Enrichment, any students that they feel require this additional support. They will discuss this referral with you, as parents, before it is sent.

4.  Parent referral: If you have concerns about your child’s progress, or feel that they may fit into one of the above categories, please contact your child’s form teacher or class teacher and discuss your concerns with them.
