Teacher Special/Inclusive Education - Hearing Impairment - Kotara South Public School

Kotara South Public School has a proud tradition of providing a stimulating, rich and relevant education for each of our 347 students through quality teaching and life-long learning practices in a positive, safe and supportive environment. Our school vision is to be a school of excellence, demonstrating outstanding school success for all. We proudly support 13 classes and one Hearing support unit. Student excellence is promoted through the partnership between school, students and families, and cultural awareness that 'together we can achieve our very best'. Our students achieve at a high level academically, artistically, socially and in sport, reflecting the values inherent in doing things the 'Kotara South Way'. The whole school community, involving students, staff, parents, Ethnic Communities Council and the local AECG, was consulted in a thorough situational analysis followed by the development of strategic improvement plan. Through our situational analysis, we have identified a need to use data driven practices that ensure all students have access to stage appropriate learning.
