While Achievement, Belonging and Care are woven together in the fabric of our learning community, we recognise that each student has unique strengths and talents.
Westside assists students with demonstrated learning and emotional needs. This support is offered in a variety of ways depending on the student’s level of need. Students may be referred for learning support at enrolment or parents are welcome to contact our SWAN Co-ordinators (Students With Additional Needs) Karin Davies (Primary) or Melissa Powell (Secondary) for further information.
Westside operates its SEE for students who are verified with significant learning needs. Places in SEE are limited. Entry to the SEE is at the discretion of the College
Westside provides opportunities for students to be enriched and extended through a variety of activities and competitions. Teachers also extend students in regular classrooms. Senior Students have an opportunity to study university subjects concurrently with their Year 12 studies through the UQ, QUT or USQ.
