Corpus Christi College’s purpose-built Inclusive Learning Centre (ILC) supports students with diagnosed disabilities and complex learning needs from Year 7 to 12. These students follow individualised education or transition plans and may require significant adjustments to the mainstream curriculum, specialist assistance, or higher levels of support. The ILC provides a safe and supportive environment where students are grouped by age and included in mainstream classes and College life wherever possible. This tour offers insight into the College’s holistic approach to inclusion, highlighting how we partner with families and key stakeholders to ensure access, participation, and engagement for every student.
