General characteristics The student community is diverse. Over 62% of the enrolment comes from non-English speaking backgrounds. Currently approximately 20% of students are School Card recipients. The enrolment figures reflect a high retention rate and most students move on to tertiary study. The school has a strong and active Old Scholars Association, which provides significant support to the school community. The school also has an extensive International Student Program. Mentor Group Every student works with their mentor teacher daily to engage in a program which is designed to ensure growth for every student in every class, through coaching, learning, inspiring and connecting. The mentor group program consists of a range of year level specific activities that will support their learning and development: One-to-one, small and whole group conversations Goal setting Developing life skills Reflections on strengths and areas of improvement Student agency Career planning Wellbeing strategies Building house culture The mentor teacher establishes and maintains effective working partnerships between families, students and school leading to positive learning conditions for all. Support offered Students at Adelaide High School have access to various systematic and targeted support structures that aim to meet the needs of every learner. Mentor Group teachers provide a first line of support to individual students, and class teachers work in collaboration to provide consistent adjustments to programming for students with additional needs. Year level leaders provide overarching case management of individual student support teams, and ensure a consistent ‘team around the child’ approach is realised in collaboration with classroom teachers, families and the HIVE team. The HIVE team brings together school Wellbeing Leaders, Learner Intervention team, Aboriginal Learner team, Centre for Deaf and Hard of Hearing, as well as Allied Health professionals; school Speech Pathologist and Psychologist. This team offers school wide support through a Response to Intervention framework for engaging students at risk - connecting students with external agencies and organisations where required. Within the HIVE team, Wellbeing Leaders provide both individual wellbeing support, as well as professional development and resources for teachers and leaders to work collectively to develop and maintain a mentally healthy school community. The Wellbeing team facilitate the old scholar tuition program for our senior Page 6 of 20 students and provide individual pathway planning support in collaboration with the VET and Enterprise Coordinator where required. The Learner Intervention Leader, Centre for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Leader, Learner Intervention Teacher and Aboriginal Education Teacher oversee student interventions that enable better
