Albany Creek State High School is committed to providing an inclusive, supportive and high-expectations learning environment where every student can access and participate in education on the same basis as their peers. The Learning Connections Department leads our inclusive education practices in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act and the Disability Standards for Education. 

We support students with disability through a whole-school approach that is consistent with the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability. This includes: 

  • consultation and collaboration with students and families 
  • planning and documenting reasonable adjustments 
  • implementing adjustments in the classroom and across the school environment 
  • ongoing monitoring and review of student progress and support 

Reasonable adjustments are designed to reduce barriers to learning and enable students to engage in curriculum, assessment and school life alongside their peers. Our focus is on recognising individual strengths, promoting independence and celebrating personal growth and achievement. 

Students supported through Learning Connections may have a range of identified disabilities and additional learning needs, including: 

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) 
  • Intellectual Disability (ID) 
  • Vision Impairment (VI) 
  • Hearing Impairment (HI) 
  • Physical Impairment (PI) 
  • Social and emotional needs 
  • Specific learning disorders 

Support is provided through a flexible, layered model that may include: 

  • individual case management and personalised learning records 
  • in-class adjustments and targeted support 
  • tutorials (Years 7 and 8) 
  • supported transition programs into secondary schooling 
  • collaboration with teachers to embed inclusive practices across all learning areas 

Albany Creek State High School implements the Every Student with Disability Succeeding Plan, reflecting our commitment to equity, access and meaningful participation. We maintain high expectations for all students and work in partnership with families and the broader community to ensure every learner is known, supported and able to succeed.
