External service providers
Highlands School works closely with families to make sure every child gets the support they need to learn and thrive.
Our school hours are designed to allow for external providers to have appropriate access to our students outside school hours, and offsite, in order to minimalise the disruptions to student learning and ensure the privacy of all students while at school.
What does outside support mean?
Outside support means getting extra help for your child from people who are not part of our school. This can include:
- Assessments or checks – such as psychological, speech or occupational therapy
- Special tutoring or learning programs – run by trained professionals outside our school
- Health services – like counselling or medical support we cannot give internally
- Agency support – help with behaviour, language or social development
This support works outside the school environment and with what our school already provides, to meet your child’s needs.
