Support Programs

At St Patrick's we are very committed to regular monitoring of students to ensure we are seeing progress with each child's learning.  If we have concerns in any area it is likely that children will undertake one or more of our support programs.  With all of our programs in place we are very confident that children who attend St Patrick's will achieve to their potential.  Some of our Support Programs are outlined below:

    SELL (Supporting Early Literacy Learners)
    EMU  (Extending Mathematics Understanding)
    ERIK (Enhanced Early Reading Intervention Knowledge)
    PERI (Phonological Early Reading Intervention)
    QuickSmart (Mathematics Intervention Program)
    MultiLit (Reading Tutor Program)
    THRASS (Teaching Handwriting Reading And Spelling Skills)

Speech Pathologist
We have regular access to a Speech Pathologist from the Catholic Education Office, providing support to children when teachers and families have raised concerns in regards to children's language development.  The Speech Pathologist assesses the child and if additional support is seen to be required it will be provided on a regular basis.  

Pschologist
We have regular access to a Psychologist from the Catholic Education Office who will assess children for social, cognitive and behavioural concerns when these have been raised by teachers and parents.  After this has been done, if the psychologist has concerns programs will be put in place to support the child.
