ESHS is an inclusive community where every student is valued and fully participates in a quality educational program, in a mainstream environment. The Learning Support Team aims to promote inclusive practices within the ESHS learning community. The team provide opportunities for our students, diagnosed with disabilities, to successfully access the curriculum and participate in all programs offered at ESHS. The Team acts in a consultative and collaborative capacity with teachers and parents in addressing the learning needs of individual students.
