SAER
Students can be considered at educational risk (SAER) of not achieving their full potential due to learning difficulties, emotional/ well-being concerns or needing to be provided with academic extension and/or remediation; including individual learning plans where appropriate. The school has a robust SAER process for identification and management. Parents who have concerns are encouraged to contact the classroom teacher in the first instance which may then be escalated to the SAER Deputy Principal.
