​​​Craigslea State High School employs on-site staff and, if required, draws on our strong connections with community support services to assist students with personal or academic needs.

The two arms of Student Support Services – Learning and Wellbeing - both focus on implementing supports and interventions that address problems impacting on a student’s schooling, or issues that limit a student’s capacity to reach their individual and educational goals. Interventions can be delivered on an individual or group basis. The aim is to ensure that students are engaging in a positive and productive manner with all aspects of school culture and curriculum.

The Special Education Program (SEP) provides support for students who meet the criteria for Verification under the Department of Education’s Education Adjustment Program (EAP).

·     Hearing Impairment (HI)
·     Intellectual Disability (ID)

Every student is capable of learning and is expected to demonstrate progress. In particular, Support Teachers work with classroom teachers to facilitate various forms of assistance for students who are identified as having a learning difficulty or disability, or are at risk of underachievement.
 
Support for students for whom English is an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D)
 

Ø  Teachers

Ø  Teacher Aide 

Students for whom English is an additional language or dialect (EAL/D) require specific support to build the English language skills required for effective communication and access to the Australian Curriculum. Using a whole school approach, EAL/D students may receive adjustments such as additional time and support, along with teaching that explicitly addresses their language learning needs.
 
High Achieving Students
 
Ø  Key Teacher
 
In partnership with the Brisbane School of Distance Education, teachers and students at Craigslea State High School are involved in the Impact Program which is an extension/enrichment strategy for mid-to-high performing students that offers STEM options (including Coding and Marine Science), Critical Thinking and Creative Writing. High achieving students are also identified for extension and enrichment activities in their subject areas.
