Learner support at Carlyle College is not a separate class or lesson but an integral part of everyday learning. Assistance happens naturally in the classroom, allowing every child to participate fully while receiving the support they need. Our teachers play a central role in this process, equipped with ongoing professional development in neurodiversity and learning barriers. This empowers them to identify concerns early, adapt their teaching, and create an inclusive, compassionate environment.
By working together, teachers, specialists, and families, we provide a holistic system of support where every learner is seen, understood, and encouraged to succeed.
We are fortunate to partner with a team of dedicated specialists who bring expertise and care directly into our school community.
Amy Ferrow (Explore OT) works actively in classrooms, observing, guiding, and supporting learners in real time.
Jordyn Swann and Catherine Symons (Symons Speech Therapy) provide focused support for communication and language development.
Through our partnership with Nikki Simons from the Neurodiversity Centre, learners benefit from a wider network of expertise.
At Carlyle College, learner support isn’t just about overcoming challenges—it’s about unlocking potential, building confidence, and empowering every child to thrive in their own unique way.
