Our
vision
Our shared vision is that every student at Mapleton State
School succeeds and receives the support they need to belong to the Mapleton
school community, engages purposefully in learning and experiences academic
success (Every Student Succeeding – State Schools Strategy 2018-2022).
Inclusion
Mapleton State
School values inclusive education. Underpinning this policy is the belief that
our students should have maximum access to the curriculum presented in the
classroom. This policy recognises and values the skills of the classroom
teachers in supporting students with special educational needs.
As outlined in
the Inclusive Education Policy Statement of the Queensland Department of
Education:
Students
experience inclusive education when they can access and fully participate in
learning, alongside their similar-aged peers, supported by reasonable
adjustments and teaching strategies tailored to meet their individual
needs. Inclusion is embedded in all
aspects of school life, and is supported by culture, policies and every day
practices.
We strive to enable every
student at Mapleton to succeed.
