The Student Engagement, Enrichment & Diversity (SEED) Faculty supports students across Years 5-12 with a broad range of learning needs, ensuring every student has access to the right tools, strategies, and programs to reach their full potential. SEED encompasses tailored support for students with additional learning needs, high-potential and gifted education, and English as an additional language.

Guided by the Edmund Rice Touchstones – Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive Community, Justice and Solidarity, and Liberating Education – The SEED faculty fosters a learning environment where every student feels valued, included, and empowered to achieve excellence.

What We Provide:

Individualised Support & Enrichment: Personalised strategies, resources, and programs that cater to diverse learning needs.

Early Identification & Intervention: Proactive assessment at enrolment and ongoing monitoring to ensure timely and effective support.

Collaborative Planning: Annual meetings with students, parents, teachers, and pastoral leaders to develop individualised learning adjustments.

Inclusive Classroom Practices: Evidence-based teaching strategies and in-class support to ensure accessibility for all learners.

Program Differentiation:

Gifted & High-Potential Learning Supports & Pathways: Specialised enrichment programs, such as the da Vinci Decathlon, to engage, enrich, and inspire.

Targeted Literacy & Numeracy Interventions: Research-based programs including MacqLit, MultiLit, and SpellIt for students requiring additional support.
