Quarry Hill Primary School

Quarry Hill Primary School prioritises inclusive education practices. 

A number of students in this central Victorian school have additional learning needs such as speech and language disorders, autism spectrum disorder, specific learning disorders in reading and writing and other disorders or difficulties.

This TIP grant will enable the purchase of tablets which are set up with assistive apps and technology including 'voice to text' and 'text to speech' to support learners with additional needs.

Assistive technology will allow some students to access their learning in a modified, and importantly in an achievable way for them. Breaking down barriers these students face in traditional learning situations. 

Socially, this equipment will help students feel more included with the ways in which their peers learning. 

For our educators, it helps teachers tailor the learning experience for each individual child to ensure they're all supported to reach their full potential.
