Welcome to The Gap State High School P&C's Student Support Parent Group (SSPG).
Supporting parents support their student is what we are all about.
Getting your child through school can sometimes be a challenge and when they have disabilities and/or diverse learning needs, it can feel isolating and impossible.
It's vital to be able to connect with other parents who are sharing a similar experience, or who have been through it, and are almost out the other side.
The SSPG is parent led and provides a chance to get together with other parents at our meetings. Learn what's worked for some parents, what hasn't, what's going on in disability/education policy, where to find a good speech pathologist, and just talk to others who understand what you're going through.
Staff from Student Support Services Department of the school regularly attended the meetings and provided valuable information and support, updating us on the latest in the school inclusion space. We also have quest speakers throughout the year such as Speech Pathologists, Psychologists and other content experts covering subjects like assistive tech, pathway options for senior school and post school and anxiety.
Please email the group co-ordinator, Terri Bainbridge (Mum to an awesome son with Dyslexia) at spg@thegapshs.eq.edu.au to find out more or ask any questions you may have ; or ask to be added to our contact list, and you'll be sent information on meetings, events and other useful material.
