Learning Support

The right opportunities and supports for all

Learning Support recognises that all students have different abilities and come from diverse backgrounds, and we teach with this in mind. It means providing the right opportunities and support when needed.

At BTAC, we aim to support students of every ability level.Our teachers and specialists are committed to providing what each child needs to achieve their potential inside and outside the classroom.

Is your child a high potential learner?

While we recognise that every child is unique and there are many ways to demonstrate excellence, some children can extend themselves further. We offer them that opportunity.
