Each student is assigned to a special education teacher, who acts as their case manager for the year. This person liaises with classroom teachers, students and parents, on appropriate teaching strategies and adjustments that are required to class work and assessment items.

Additionally, the SEP provides a number of programs that are available to students with disabilities in various year levels. These programs are conducted in smaller class settings within the SEP environment.
