Literacy and Numeracy Intervention

Warracknabeal Secondary College is committed to ensuring every student achieves success in their learning. Sometimes students can encounter difficulties in literacy and numeracy that can impact on their entire learning experience and future opportunities. We have appointed Learning Specialists - Hayley Weir (Literacy) and Matthew Friedlieb (Numeracy) - who lead their respective PLC teams to improve the literacy and numeracy skills of all students. An Inclusion and Diversity Leader - Shaune Winsall - will also play an important role in identifying and assisting students with additional needs.
