The Study Support Program aims to provide learning support for students from varying backgrounds, as we assist in developing young people's confidence and help them to socially and academically participate in school in a more meaningful way. In particular, the program focuses on literacy, numeracy, homework support and study/organisational skills.
The Strong Foundations Program, a branch of Study Support, provides targeted literacy intervention for foundation - grade 2 students and is carried out by an experienced literacy intervention specialist and is supported by tutors. While the focus is on literacy, there are also math and art activities that run concurrently as the intervention is taking place.
The Flemington Homework Clubs, is a program dedicated to improving and enhancing the academic abilities for students from Debney Meadows and Flemington Primary Schools. We create an environment that fosters students learning while being inclusive and understanding of their cultural and behavioural needs. The program is conducted in both Schools, which are based in Flemington. The program encourages students to have access to sessions at any of our locations, and we encourage parent and family participation. We also have a literacy specialist who offers a literacy program specifically to students from Foundation-Grade two. This program is designed to assist the students in building early literacy, speech and comprehension abilities.
Students on placement at KNH will perform duties that directly support the running of our learning support program (LSP), Study Support/Flemington Homework Clubs. They will provide tuition to individuals or small groups of students, focusing on literacy, numeracy and helping students to complete homework and assignments. Depending on individual placement requirements, there are opportunities to support in the administrative tasks that are involved in running an LSP such as grant writing, acquittals, monitoring & evaluation, and volunteer recruitment.
