School aged students admitted to the Mater Adult
Hospital (Stanley St) and Mater
Private Hospital (Vulture St) are able to access the services of the teacher. The ward
administrators usually inform the school that a school age student is in hospital and
requires the services of a teacher. Other contact can be made through the social worker or
the Clinical Nurse Consultant for each ward. |
Short stay students are given revision based on their current
school work while long stay
students are given work based on information from their home school. In addition to assisting with school work the ward teacher's
may also:
 |
liaison
with home schools |
|
contribute
to Case Conferences |
|
assist
with the transition of students to their home schools |
| Students can attend the
classroom, however due to the
nature of a their illnesses, the ward teacher usually visits the students in their wards.
Individual programs are negotiated with the students and home school contact is maintained
where possible to ensure students continue with their school work and maintain study routines.
Where appropriate, research projects, assignments and school assessments are completed and then
returned to the home school for marking. |
