Services and Programs
Will there be a Learning Support Unit available?
The School Principal and staff will work together with parents/carers to ensure the needs of all students are met. What this means in terms of the structure of classes and learning will become clearer as students enrol at the school and those needs are identified.
What specialist subjects will be offered?
At Evelyn Scott School, we have recruited specialist teachers to connect learners with specialist curriculum areas. Our chosen language will be Japanese, and students will learn about the language and the fascinating culture of Japan. Daniel Manestar, our Executive Teacher will deliver Japanese lessons to children across the school. Health and Wellbeing is a critically important part of social and emotional development and engaging lessons will be delivered by our Movement Teacher, Ross Dennis.
Will out of school hours care be available at the school?
Yes. The service will be available from the start of the 2021 school year and will accept children in preschool through to year 6.
Woden Community Services are our OSHC provider and you can learn more about their service in this flyer. Woden Community Services are currently organising their service approval and formal enrolments will open once this has been approved. In the meantime, their Enrolments Team are ready to collect your child’s name and information so that they can have a space ready for you and can get in contact once the enrolment process has opened. The team can be contacted at enrolments@wcs.org.au or 6147 3318.
