Inclusion

Inclusive education means that all members of the Ceres Primary School community are valued and supported to fully participate, learn, develop, and succeed within an inclusive school culture.

Our aim is to create safe and inclusive school environments for all students, families, staff, and visitors.

Victoria has a strong and vibrant education system that celebrates diversity and is committed to supporting the achievement and participation of all students. Inclusive education acknowledges that some children and young people have intersecting identities or additional needs that schools may need to take into consideration.

At Ceres Primary School, we believe it is essential to provide a well‐balanced, challenging curriculum for all pupils. Inclusion looks at the needs of all pupils including children with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties, EAL pupils (English as an Additional Language), and pupils considered to be More Able.

We aim to provide all children with the best possible outcomes in preparation for life‐long learning. We believe it is important that children acquire skills, knowledge, and confidence that can be applied to all future learning experiences, including social, and physical development. We endeavour to raise aspirations and expectations for all pupils by working in partnership with parents/carers, specialist support staff, and by listening to our students.
