Supporting Students with Additional Needs (SWAN)
Find out how the school supports students with additional needs through a three-tiered system, helping every child thrive academically, behaviourally, and socially.
Vision
An inclusive culture for all.
Mission
To create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student, including those with additional needs, is valued, respected, and empowered to achieve their full potential.
Tiered System of Support for SWAN
Fern Green Primary School (FGPS) adopts the Tiered System of Support (TSS), a whole-school systemic framework by MOE, in providing support for students and managing school’s resources effectively and efficiently. Special Educational Needs (SEN) Officers and School Counsellor work hand in hand with teachers to provide timely support for SWAN in their learning, behavioural and social-emotional needs.
Tier 1 is the core curriculum/ instruction provided to ALL students for both academic and non-academic areas. Quality Tier 1 support plays a preventative function by equipping all students with a good foundation in academic and non-academic skills.
Tier 2 is early targeted support provided to SOME students. SWAN are provided support in their specific areas of need (e.g., academic, behavioural, social-emotional).
Tier 3 is intensive targeted support provided to a FEW students. who require MORE intensive and individualised intervention.
