This week staff have finalised personalised learning records for students who require reasonable adjustments to learning due to disability. This has been part of a system change that will see the Department of Education allocate funding for students with disabilities based on the level of support that the school is currently providing. Documentation of these adjustments is required and future funding will be assessed on these grounds. This system change will take two years to reach full effect. PBC, as an inclusive school, feels well placed to adapt to this change and has supported all teachers to feel more confident in creating these adjustments in learning. This change highlights even more so the need for parents and teachers to work together to support student learning. Sharing with the school a diagnoses or an assessment helps us all to work together. One of the other big changes has been recognition of disability under the national definition which includes diagnosed mental ill-health, such as anxiety and depression, and dyslexia both of which impact a growing number of students.
