The purpose of learning plans

Throughout their time at school Aboriginal students have an individual learning plan designed to improve literacy and numeracy skills.

Developing the plan

Students work with their teacher and parents to develop the plan and a personalised curriculum. This is updated every year. The plan:
  • highlights learning needs and goals
  • helps students gain a greater self-awareness of their abilities
  • builds on personal strengths
  • identifies ways to provide a supportive learning environment
  • assists parents in supporting their child
  • helps students transition to high school.

Reviewing the plan

The plan is reviewed regularly to assess progress and to check that short-term goals are being met. Parents also receive progress reports from the school.

For more information contact your school or phone Aboriginal Education and Employment Services on 8226 2167.
