How We Meet the Diverse Needs of Our Students
The chaplaincy team helps to develop within the school a community of faith. It plans and facilitates a variety of celebrations and activities, and encourages outreach to those in need. Chaplaincy is at the service of staff and students in need of guidance, support and direction.
Special Education
Our philosophical approach advocates the principle of integration as part of the continuum of special education programs and services. The diversified needs of our students are met through the consultative model that involves eight steps to ensure appropriate programs for students with learning needs. This includes a school-based support team that outlines, implements and monitors initial intervention strategies and program modifications. The joint team may also be consulted to provide additional support to staff, students and parents in implementing a program to meet the diverse needs of our students. Identified students receive a pupil education plan containing specific objectives and an outline of educational services that meet the needs of the exceptional student. The pupil education plan forms the blueprint for program modification.
Students in the gifted program may elect to have their programs differentiated by altering the content in breadth or depth, in compacting or substitution. They have the option to pursue independent study, small; group investigations, cooperative education, mentorship, contract learning and modules from the personal life management guidelines. To develop self-understanding and leadership based on Christian values, gifted students are encouraged to participate in United Nations Model competitions at the local, national and international levels; Shad Valley Science Summer Programs, debating competitions, Science Centre School, Remembrance Day Assembly, organizing the school walk-a-thon to raise fund for technical equipment, and preparation of the Jaguar school newspaper.
Student Services
The guidance and counseling program is an integral part of the total education process of the school. The program is developmental in nature and promotes the development of a Christian community in the school as an essential element of the Catholic education process. The counselors recognize the inherent worth of individuals regardless of abilities or limitations.
