Emotional literacy and self-regulation are emphasised. The environment is calm and structured with consistent routines and boundaries, and respectful behaviour and positive relationships are promoted. The school uses a child-centred approach and provides additional support when required, without defining learners by labels or diagnoses. The team works with families to ensure support is timely and appropriate, and to keep children included in school life. Learners leave Shine as confident communicators, independent thinkers, and kind, respectful individuals who are academically prepared for the next stage.
Learning Support is available to all students, with additional classes to build skills or stretch talents as needed. The admissions process matches a child's cognitive and learning profile to the appropriate provision, which is child-centred and may involve additional costs. Each child is assessed during enrollment to inform an individual plan with targets, supported by the Shine team.
English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is provided to help students understand and use the language of the curriculum. EAL services ensure EAL students are included in lessons, contributing to higher self-esteem and confidence.
Psychology is on site to support the emotional and social wellbeing of learners. Occupational therapists support participation in daily school activities and promote positive behaviours for learning. Speech and Language Therapy addresses communication needs on site to aid learning access. A network of consulting specialists is available for referrals to additional professionals as needed.
