Thomas Mitchell Primary School supports students with disabilities or those who require adjustments to the classroom and school setting through inclusive education. Inclusive education means that all members of our school community are valued and supported to fully participate, learn, develop and succeed within an inclusive school culture.
Inclusion for these students is not just for the benefit of the child with disabilities, it has advantages for everybody. For students, staff and parents it means a chance to gain a real understanding of differences between people. It enables them to regard differences as a personal quality, like the colour of one’s eyes or hair and not as a disability.
The school is able to apply to the DET for Disability Inclusion Funding for eligible students. Once enrolled the Wellbeing Coordinator would be aware of students who meet the criteria and will work with families through the appliaction process.
