Inclusion

All our schools are 100 per cent inclusive. Always. That means no one is ever turned away, no matter what their unique individual needs. It means we welcome children with a range of learning preferences, including students of determination (those with special education needs and disabilities), students who are gifted and talented, and students who are English Language Learners.

Why do we do this? Easy...

Because we believe in the fundamental right of every child to access a quality education. And because inclusive schools are simply better, more vibrant schools, reflective of the real-world communities all children will be part of when they leave school. The GEMS vision for inclusive education is that we achieve excellence together by all students receiving the support they need to meaningfully belong to their school and wider community, feel valued for their contributions, engage purposefully in learning, and experience academic, cultural, social and emotional success in a common learning environment. Inclusion means truly accepting everybody, celebrating our differences and learning to value each other. It means understanding that we are not all the same and that our learning challenges are as unique as our fingerprints.
