Learning Centre and Enhancement

The Learning Centre is comprised of Special Education Teachers and Support Staff who work with mainstream teachers to provide assistance to students.

The Learning Centre also supports students through its Literacy and Numeracy Programs. Students who are experiencing difficulty with their work requirements can seek assistance from the Learning Centre Staff.

Of particular focus is the funded integration students and those with learning difficulties. Those who have had interrupted schooling are also catered for through the Learning Centre. These students receive support both in the classroom and through small group withdrawal.

The Learning Centre provides assessments to determine the specific learning needs of students, assisting with strategies to improve student outcomes and supporting staff in the modification of work.

The Enhancement Program at Mazenod College provides students with challenging coursework in order to support their development. Students who participate in this program are withdrawn from regular classes once a week and meet in small groups.

Students may also participate in competitions such as the da Vinci Decathlon and can attend Gifted Program Days. Debating, Public Speaking, Art and Chess competitions provide further avenues for students within the program to develop their various talents.
