Launceston Grammar provides Learning Enrichment to respond to each student's academic, social, emotional and physical needs. The Learning Support environment is flexible and caring. Students who require adjustments in teaching and learning, communication, social-emotional well-being, participation or attendance receive Personalised Learning Plans. These plans are collaboratively developed with the Head of School Student Support, the student's teachers, parents and the student. The Learning Enrichment team works with families to support ongoing progress.
