RAP program

Ms Randall and Ms White run the unique, specialised and award winning (Director General's School Achievement Award) RAP program, which relies heavily on community involvement at VPS.

This intensive literacy program specifically supports Year 1 and 2 students and a dedicated RAP room has been established for this purpose. The RAP room is equipped with computers and interactive whiteboard, up-to-date resources, and flexible learning areas allowing for individual and small group work. Mrs Duncan who set up the program, received a Development, Implementation and Leadership award from the Bay and Basin school community acknowledging the success of this program.

The RAP teachers are also an integral part of the Learning Support Team and provide additional literacy and numeracy support for students in Kindergarten to Year 6.

In 2016 more than 100 students were supported by these programs, leading to improved learning outcomes, greater resilience and a positive attitude to learning.
