Student Wellbeing
On this page:
Our Approach
Nightcliff Primary School recognises that our students are from diverse backgrounds and with varying abilities. We aim to create a culture and environment of inclusivity, whereby all students can access and participate in learning. Reasonable adjustments are made to the teaching and learning programs to ensure that students, including those with a diagnosed disability, are able to participate on the same basis as their peers. Nightcliff Primary School proudly supports the Northern Territory’s Framework for Inclusion (2019-2029) and is committed to implementing its vision of shared decision making, professional practice and an evidence-led system.
NEST
The Nightcliff Education Support Team (NEST) has a dedicated room with cooking facilities, spaces for small group learning and equipment to support students to meet their sensory needs. Individual student needs may be targeted by in-class curriculum differentiation and or small group withdrawal programs for literacy/numeracy support. The inclusion of students with a diagnosed disability is further supported through an Education Adjustment Plan, whereby specific goals are set to enable student engagement in all aspects of schooling.
The NEST team currently consists of 4 Teachers and numerous Student Education Support Assistants (SESAs) who share the common goal of implementing fair and inclusive practices for all students.
Student Leadership
Nightcliff Primary School highly values leadership and student voice. It is represented by our school captains, Student Representative Council (SRC), sports house captains and Eco Warriors from Year’s 3 to 4.
There are high expectations for all students to build the capacity of student engagement and allows voices of students to be heard in decision-making across the school. In Term 1, representatives are elected to grow and inspire change throughout the year.
Transitioning
Nightcliff Primary School has developed strong links with other areas of schooling. Transitioning programs have been established to provide continuity.
