Information for parents
Supporting students with additional needs is complex and challenging. We have created this space to support our community throughout the COVID-19 crisis and beyond. At Gorokan High School we are focussed on creating a safe, inclusive and connected school community. This page has been designed to support parents with information, ideas, tips/tricks and links to resources that are specifically designed to support students with additional learning, sensory or behavioural challenges.
