Special Education
The Special Education Department at The Knox School provides support for students with special needs, from Prep through to Year Twelve. As students have strengths and weaknesses and different learning styles, the student support program is tailored to suit the learning needs of individual students.
Support is offered in-class or on a withdrawal basis, which may be in a small group or one-to-one. Work may be modified or adapted to suit the students’ abilities in order to assist them to reach their full potential.
The primary goals of the Special Education Department are to encourage independence and responsibility for the students’ own learning and to ensure success so that self-esteem is maintained.
The Special Education Staff work collaboratively with the teaching staff, parents and students in order to achieve a coordinated approach toward student learning.
