STUDENT/CONTEXT DESCRIPTION
This should:
 describe the like cohort or individual student(s) (e.g. student learning needs and pathways, accommodations
required)
 identify the personal learning goals (number each goal 1, 2, 3 ). Goals should reflect the learning requirements and
content of the subject, as described in the subject outline. When the student undertakes the same subject at Stage 1
and Stage 2, the goals should be a further development of those undertaken in the subject at Stage 1. If the student
has not undertaken the subject at Stage 1, the goals should show development of those undertaken in at least one
other subject at Stage 1.
(Note: Adjustments to personal learning goals for specific students within a like cohort may be required. Details of
adjustments are likely to be maintained at a school level, although teachers may choose to include details in the
Addendum)
This plan is written for a student with an intellectual disability, severe autism and a major heart condition. This student
has an NEP (updated each year) where they, along with significant others have had input into identifying the individual
learning goals that will assist the student to foster independence and successfully transition to life after school. This
student requires varying degrees of support and modified programs to achieve these goals.
1. Further develop physical skills, abilities and sportsmanship (to encourage lifelong involvement in recreational
activities)
2. Participate in physical activities (to further enhance feelings of wellbeing)
3. Further identify and engage in activities with community members and facilities that may be of benefit after leaving
school.
ADJUSTMENTS TO PERSONAL LEARNING GOALS

review and adjustment of personal learning goals for specific students within a like cohort may be required to
ensure goals are developmentally appropriate. Details of adjusted goals for individual students may be maintained
at a school level, alternatively the table below may be used to document adjusted goals for individual students
once this learning and assessment plan has been approved.

LEARNING PROGRAM DESIGN
This should describe:
 how the learning program has been designed to engage the student, or range of students in the like cohort
described above
 the intended delivery of the learning program (e.g. students undertake elements of the program off-campus,
program delivered over ten weeks)
 key area(s) chosen.
This program is delivered over a year incorporating participation in weekly swimming sessions at the local leisure
centre and weekly sport sessions at the school and within community facilities. Students are engaged because they
enjoy the activities. The program goals for the student are based on the student’s NEP with a focus on the student
further developing skills in various physical activities to further enhance his feelings of well being and connection with
the community in which he lives. It is hoped that the student will gain the confidence and the skills to participate in
various physical activities so that he may choose to continue to participate in these or similar alternate activities after
leaving school.
Key Areas covered include Key Area 2: Healthy Living (being active); and Key Area 8: Indoor and Outdoor Recreation
(T-Ball, Goldenchild and Tennis SA sessions).
CAPABILITIES, LITERACY AND NUMERACY OPPORTUNITIES
This should explain:
 how the program provides the student(s) opportunities to further develop their capabilities, and their literacy and
numeracy skills (e.g. strategies and resources), identified at Stage 1.
This program provides opportunities for students to further develop capabilities in communication, learning and
personal development. Through participation in school and community based learning activities including swimming,
T-Ball, Goldenchild and tennis sessions, it is anticipated that confidence in personal development and learning will
further increase, e.g. through group skills and interacting with others. Communication capabilities develop through
interacting with support staff and others, following instructions, showing concern for, and encouraging others.
This program provides numerous opportunities for the student to enhance literacy through communication with support
staff and others and to engage in numeracy activities including number operations (addition to tally the number of laps,
runs, hits etc.).
