Additional learning support
At Bourke Street, we partner with parents to ensure every student is ready to learn. We support students with disability and additional learning needs so they can take part in all areas of school life. Support can begin at any stage of school.
Support that fits your child's needs
Some students need extra support to feel confident and do their best at school. We work closely with families to make support plans and adjustments that suits each child’s needs.
At Bourke Street, we understand that support looks different for each child and changes over time. That's why we tailor our support with you and your child.
We are always partnered with parents and any adjustments are planned together with teachers, families and students. They are reviewed regularly and changed when needed.
If you think your child may need extra help, contact us.
Learning and support team
Our learning and support team helps make sure every student gets the help they need at the right time. The team works with families, teachers and support staff to:
- understand each student’s needs
- plan adjustments and supports
- monitor progress
- connect with other services if needed.
Contact us to meet with a member of this team to talk about your child’s strengths, interests and areas where they may need support.

The school's learning support team includes the school psychologist. The school psychologist provides assistance and advice to the learning and wellbeing team. Under certain circumstances, they may assist with learning and behavioural assessments.
School psychologists can provide short-term counselling support to students with school based issues. Our school psychologist is unable to provide clinical support or therapy.
Parents can contact the school on the link below to request a referral to the school psychologist. School counselling is a confidential in nature.
