At Mancel College, we provide an academic education with additional support tailored to students with Language Disorder. While we follow the Australian Curriculum, our approach differs from that of mainstream schools. We focus on ensuring students not only access the curriculum but also succeed in applying their learning in meaningful ways.

One of the key differences is our commitment to differentiation. We adjust what students learn, how they learn it, and how they demonstrate their understanding. Our teachers use Explicit Instruction, a structured approach that breaks down complex concepts into manageable steps. This method helps students absorb and retain information more effectively while building confidence in their abilities.

Another key distinction is our integrated therapy model. While mainstream schools may require students to seek external support, Mancel College incorporates speech therapy, occupational therapy, and other interventions directly into the classroom. This ensures that students receive real-time support in an environment where they can immediately apply

their skills. Instead of pulling students out for separate sessions, our therapists work alongside teachers to provide targeted strategies within the learning environment.

We also recognise that some students may enter Mancel College behind their expected grade level. Rather than focusing solely on where they should be, we prioritise progress and individual growth. Our educators assess each student’s needs and implement evidence-based interventions to help close learning gaps while maintaining high academic expectations.

Mancel College is not just a support-based school; it is an academic institution that prepares students for further education, employment, and lifelong learning. Our graduates leave with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to succeed in whatever path they choose. Experience the Mancel College difference—book a school tour today.
