About the Learning Resource Centre
A specialised support unit within Wycherley International School – Dehiwala, designed to assist students who require additional academic, emotional, and developmental guidance.
Our approach is holistic and child-centred, focusing on the overall development of each student. We aim to create a balance between academic learning, emotional well-being, behavioural growth, and social integration.
We work collaboratively with parents, teachers, and professionals to develop individualized support plans that cater to each child's strengths and needs. The LRC also supports gradual integration into mainstream classrooms wherever appropriate, ensuring a smooth and confident transition.
What We Do
At the LRC, we provide structured, individualized support tailored to each child's learning profile. Our services include:
- Individual and small group academic support
- Behavioural and emotional guidance
- Social skills development
- Classroom support through shadow teachers
- Individualized Education Plans (IEPs)
- Continuous monitoring and progress assessments
We also ensure that students are exposed to real-world experiences through carefully planned educational excursions, helping them develop independence, social awareness, and practical life skills.
A key strength of our centre is our strong emphasis on inclusion. LRC students are regularly given opportunities to collaborate and interact with mainstream students, encouraging peer learning, social integration, and a sense of belonging within the wider school community.
Therapeutic Interventions
In addition to academic support, we offer a variety of therapeutic interventions to enhance overall development:
Message from the Headmistress
The Learning Resource Centre reflects our belief that education should be accessible, adaptable, and meaningful for every child. Our goal is to provide a nurturing environment where students feel safe, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. We recognise that each child learns differently, and we celebrate these differences by offering personalised guidance and care. Through collaboration with parents, teachers, and mainstream classrooms, we ensure that every child experiences a sense of inclusion, confidence, and achievement.
