Learning Support at Newington, Lindfield is dynamic and innovative. Our learning support team, that includes Mr Chris Wyatt, Mrs Carmen Gaspersic – Academic Welfare Team Leader, Lorraine Ball, Nicola Rusten our newest team member, Campbell Jensen-Robilliard – School Counsellor, and myself has a multi tiered approach which ensures that the support on offer from Kindergarten to Year 6 is inclusive and responds to the learning needs of all students.

Team teaching and collaborative lesson planning and delivery, aim to implement learning strategies that will benefit all students across all grades an all ability levels.

The team are involved in support and enrichment programs in Literacy, Numeracy and in Social Skill sessions. Standardised testing results and feedback from teachers enable boys across all grades to have access to specialised programs. These programs are are research-based and encourage participation while offering a variety of learning styles and methods to meet individual needs.

Class groupings help boys across all grades to consolidate their skills in key learning areas and when necessary receive intensive 1:1 support.

The team and class teachers work closely together to support, encourage and monitor individual student learning and welfare.

Please feel free to drop by. We can be now found in our new premises in the office behind the borrowing desk in The Lookout or alternatively make an appointment to meet with a team member through Julie at Reception.
