Your charter: a vision for every learner
The school charter is the key planning document for your school.
Outline how your school intends to become more inclusive and meet the needs of all students.
In your charter, show:
- what your board wants to achieve for students with learning support needs
- how you intend to achieve the outcomes for these students; for example, your teaching strategies, and how you are going to use your resourcing
- what success will look like for students
- how you will evaluate and assess your progress towards meeting your charter aims and targets and report this in your analysis of variance.
Examples of inclusive school charters:
- Makauri School (Word 985 KB)
- Ormond School (PDF 976 KB)

- Think beyond the student to wider school processes, such as professional learning and development, inclusive teaching approaches, and school-wide programmes.
- Establish a process and timeframe for monitoring and evaluating the progress of each student on the register, and reporting to the BoT on this.

The school painted pathways between focal points to support a student with low vision.
New students and those who need support with orientation also use the marked pathways.
