School Life
At Allegra, school life is about feeling seen, supported, and capable through dynamic learning opportunities in small classes, building real relationships, and engaging in creative approaches, helping every student to grow with purpose.
Small Classes
Limiting student numbers to 14 per class ensures everyone receives the support needed to achieve their individual goals. In smaller classes young people are often more relaxed and more willing to ask for assistance. Smaller classes allow for flexible, realistic and relevant modifications to be made to the learning program, and to break down barriers students may have experienced in the past.
Bringing Balance
Our unique learning environment prioritises personal growth, respectful relationships, instilling a sense of belonging and the knowledge you can speak and be heard without prejudice. We understand everyone has moments when they might need extra support and understanding; we encourage students to work with our Coordinator of Student Wellbeing and our School Psychologist to develop and implement strategies that help them on their path for individual success and to improve their school life.
Adult Learning Environment
Allegra is an engaging, learning environment free from distraction where students are treated like young adults. We provide a culture where students feel empowered to undertake their education in a safe, supportive space with focus on respect and clear communication. Students are made aware that their education is their responsibility and we are here to facilitate the change they would like to see.
How inclusive is inclusive?
We are proud of our diverse student body. Students and staff come from a wide range of lifestyle, socio-economic, racial and learning backgrounds but the one thing we have in common is respect. Respect for self and respect for others. This value is a non-negotiable foundation of our school. We all learn together, acknowledging that all individuals have different capabilities and learning styles.
Teaching & Staff Support
Our small classes and high teacher to student ratio have been huge draw cards in attracting high calibre and passionate teaching and learning support staff.
As building respectful relationships between staff and students is an integral part of our holistic approach to education, our team is dedicated to making real connections with students and inspiring them to work towards realising their full potential.
Students, teachers and support staff are all on a first name basis which is another step we’ve taken in removing typical hierarchical structures in place at other schools.
