Home Learning Support
Each of our students has an IEP - these are written collaboratively and shared with families. The IEP is a great place to start when you are working with your child at home. Where offsite Larning is required students will be supplied with work packages - the items below are additional ideas and suggestions for families.
Our school also uses Reading Eggs and Maths Seeds within our programs. Students have access to these programs from home - Parents/carers have been provided with the access code - which is the same code for both programs.

From Garden to Plate - CLC Student's Cookbook
Our students participate in a range of activities including gardening and cooking as part of their functional skills programs. With the assistance of a Woolworth's Grant we used our skills to make our own cookbook, called Garden to Plate. The cookbook includes visuals to assist children to read and follow the recipes. These are some of the recipes we use at school.
You can download your copy here - Happy cooking!
