The Learning Support Team (LST) consists of the Learning Support Team coordinator, the principal, school counsellor and a teacher representative from each stage.
The team meets fortnightly to discuss students with learning, behavioural, welfare and social needs.
The LST supports students identified on the National Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD) framework for physical, social, emotional, sensory or cognitive disabilities. Students are provided with support through reasonable adjustments to assist them to access and participate in education on the same basis as other students.
The four levels of adjustment in the NCCD are:
· Quality Differentiated Teaching Practice (QDTP)
Minor adjustments
· Supplementary
Students receive adjustments at specific times throughout the week
· Substantial
Students receive essential adjustments and considerable assistance to the usual educational program at most times, on most days
· Extensive
Students have very high support needs and are always provided with extensive targeted measures and sustained levels of intensive support.

Parent observation
Berry Public School's Learning Support team have been fundamental in the growth of my child's social and academic achievements. My son has cerebral palsy which brings a range of challenges and I have fully appreciated and grateful for the whollistic approach that the LS team have taken.
The school environment has made him feel and be physically safe in both the classroom and playground.
The collaborative approach has supported him in increasing his numeracy and literacy levels. I am so thankful for the effort, kindness and connection that has been shown to my child
