Caversham Valley Primary School is committed to identifying students at risk and implementing effective interventions and adjustments.

Our aim is to ensure that all students are able to access curriculum, resources and services that allow them to have equitable outcomes. The term ‘At Educational Risk’ refers to a student who may not achieve his/her potential. Each student has the potential to be at risk at different stages throughout their school life.

Categories of Students at Educational Risk

• Academic: Students who are excelling or not achieving the major learning outcomes described in the Western Australian Curriculum. Whose achievement level and rate of progress and engagement differs noticeably from past performances.
• Social and Emotional: Students who have a high percentage of absenteeism and lateness, who have experienced trauma, who are in the care of Child and Family Protective Services; and/or display disengaged behaviours.
• Behavioural: Students who display aggressive, attention seeking and/or inconsistent behaviours.
• Physical: Students who have a medical impairment that inhibits their ability to demonstrate learning outcomes described in the Western Australian Curriculum. (ie: Vision or hearing impairments).
• Aboriginal students: As part of the Commonwealth planning to close the gap in the outcomes of Aboriginal people.

Our aim is to ensure:

• Early identification of students at educational risk;
• Documented plans are developed for individuals and groups of students at risk;
• Accountability processes are in place to demonstrate the needs of identified students are being met.

Three-Tiered Response to intervention

Caversham Valley Primary School has established an experienced Student Services Team comprising of School Administrators, our School Psychologist and Youthcare Chaplain. This team leads a three-tiered response to intervention, working with families and external agencies to target the needs of our students.
