Learning Development & Support
Empowering Growth and Achievement
We support students from Prep to Year 12 to strive for their personal best, embracing their unique strengths and challenges.
At Overnewton we recognise that each learner is different, and we are dedicated to providing a supportive and enriching learning environment. Our educators strive to cater for individual learning needs, whether supporting students with specific learning difficulties or extending high-potential learners, so that every child can grow with confidence and achieve success.
Catering for Additional Learning Needs
We are deeply committed to ensuring that all students - regardless of their individual learning needs - have the opportunity to thrive within an inclusive and supportive educational environment. Our approach is grounded in contemporary, evidence-based practices that foster independence, promote engagement, and challenge students to achieve their full potential.
The Learning Development and Support team comprises qualified Special Needs Teachers and dedicated Teaching Support Staff. This team plays a pivotal role in fostering collaborative partnerships with subject teachers, families, and students, ensuring a coordinated and personalised approach to learning.
We develop structured, data-informed learning programs that are both engaging and responsive to each student’s progress. These programs are designed to provide timely and appropriate support while encouraging students to become confident and capable learners.
Our nurturing and stimulating classroom environments are led by experienced educators who model best practices, prioritise student wellbeing, and uphold the highest standards of care. Through ongoing professional learning and collaboration, our staff remain at the forefront of educational innovation.
Catering for High Potential Learners
High potential learners benefit from a rigorous academic environment and tailored support from dedicated staff. Through differentiation, extension, enrichment, and acceleration, students are challenged and inspired across all year levels.
Differentiation & Enrichment
Enrichment opportunities extend beyond the classroom, providing a diverse array of programs, competitions, and experiences designed to extend and challenge students in areas aligned with their individual strengths and interests.
Extension & Acceleration
In-class extension opportunities are designed to deepen students' understanding and enhance critical thinking skills. In the secondary years, students may also engage in accelerated pathways in subjects such as Mathematics and VCE units, allowing them to progress at a pace aligned with their capabilities.
Beyond the academic program, students are encouraged to participate in enrichment and extension experiences across all curriculum areas, fostering a well-rounded and inspiring education.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Marin Balluk people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Overnewton Anglican Community College stands. We respect the knowledge that will be forever embedded within the Aboriginal Custodianship of Country and remember the loss of cultures, languages and Lands they have endured. Like the Marin Balluk people, we at Overnewton want to respect the Land, the cultures and the heritages, and learn from those who have come before us in the passing on of knowledge and the teaching of life skills, as well as continue with wise stewardship of our buildings and grounds. We honour their custodianship of this Land and offer them our deep respect.
