WHAT IS THE FOCUS OF THIS POSITION?

Inclusion Education is based on the notion of embracing human diversity and welcoming all students as equal members of an educational community. This entails valuing and supporting the full participation of all students together in the most appropriate educational settings according to their individual needs. Inclusion requires recognising learning and neurological differences as some of the many forms of human diversity, and welcoming such diversity as a rich resource that is an essential component of humanity. As a part of equipping the students with a whole of life education, it is vital we support them in their journey at school, so that each child is able to reach their own personal potential. We strive to unlock the unique God-given treasure in every child, equipping them for a life of passion and purpose.
