Tailored Learning is a Department for Education initiative. It is a student enrolment strategy aimed to assist schools and the wider community in supporting successful engagement and retention of young people identified as disengaging from a mainstream school-based learning program.
Modbury High School students demonstrating disengagement from learning for a variety of reasons may be eligible for Tailored Learning. Tailored Learning has one intake at the start of the school year and is unable to accept students throughout the year.
Tailored Learning students are placed with a Case Manager who they meet with once a week to work through any barriers between them and school. This may involve addressing wellbeing issues, assisting with organisation, setting learning and career goals, developing employability skill, preparing a resume and exploring potential certificate qualifications for the student to enrol in.
Students involved with Tailored Learning have a range of learning conditions and environments that they can engage with. This may involve a full or part time timetable onsite at Modbury in mainstream classes or Tailored Learning classes and programs, attending classes or courses at the Community Learning Centre (CLC), engaging at a Vocational Education and Training (VET) site such as TAFE SA or focusing on employment or an apprenticeship. Students can also choose a mixture of these things. The engagement is tailored to the students needs, abilities and interests. The CLC most Modbury High School Tailored Learning students access is the North Eastern Secondary Principal’s Network (NESPN) CLC.

Modbury High School is involved in a partnership with seven North-Eastern High Schools who formed the NESPN Community Learning Centre. The CLC was established in January 2013 and is a testament to school/community partnerships working together towards supporting youth, addressing barriers and access to education, training and employment.
During the Tailored Learning enrolment meeting it will be discussed with the student and family if the CLC will suit the learning needs and goals of the young person. Modbury High School will then complete the referral to join the CLC. Referred students can work towards completing the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), whilst being able to access a range of accredited courses, engagement programs, independent life skills and work ready skills based upon their interests and strengths.
Students attending the CLC have the standard Tailored Learning requirement of being paired with a Case Manager. Currently the CLC has Case Managers from Baptist Care SA. Case Managers, along with CLC staff, are available to support students in making the decision as to which pathways to follow.
