Chris is a 8 year old student. Chris loves listening to stories and using the computers. He possibly has Foetal Alcohol Syndrome. He often appears to be day dreaming and shows low motivation. We have noticed Chris can be ultrasensitive to light and noise and seems to be displaying memory deficits. He may be attempting to hide these behaviors for not wanting to look different from other kids. We have a health specialist working with Chris 2 days a week from the Red Town District Hospital and Chris’s teacher is monitoring and recordingobservations.
Reece is a 12 year old student who has been at the school since the start of his schooling. He is interested in playing drums and loves sports, particularly footy. He often stays after school for the ‘Active After School Communities Program’ and engages in sports. Reece is from a low SES background. His engagement in class varies, yet there is a notable difference in behaviour when he gets to school on time for breakfast.

Her attendance is above average and she is focused at school. Her favourite subjects are maths and geography. The school has a good relationship with Catherine’s parents. Her parents are pleased with the school and Catherine’s teachers however, feel she will benefit more socially and academically in a less isolated and more populated area.
