The Department of Education stresses success of all learners through inclusive education. Each student is unique, with their own challenges and gifts. We make every effort to provide support so that all students reach their goals. Our vision for inclusive schools is that every student feels accepted, valued and safe in school. We believe:
All students can learn;
Students learn in different ways, at different rates and in different places;
Students come from diverse backgrounds and want their differences to be respected;
Students have the right to appropriate education programming and required supports;
Parental involvement is essential
