Special Needs

The Special Needs Framework at Brigidine addresses all students with special learning needs.  Some Students require some variation from the standard teaching and learning in the mainstream classroom.  This could include students who have pastoral needs which impact on their educational performance.

Two full time Special Education teachers, teachers aides, itinerant teachers and consultants support mainstream teachers to differentiate their classroom teaching, provide dedicated life skills programs and withdrawal of students on a needs basis.
