We provide high-quality, individualised education for up to 200 students with moderate and severe developmental delay. Universally designed for learning, we ensure every learner is supported to learn, and all students have the opportunity to succeed at school, and beyond. Our skilled and passionate team, including administrative, teaching and support staff, work closely with families, carers and other services to personalise learning support. Individualised programs build on student's unique abilities, interests and goals, fostering growth in confidence, and independence. We take a strengths-based approach, and focus learning on communication, social interaction, emotional regulation and daily living skills. Our classrooms are well-resourced to meet diverse learning styles and sensory needs. Students access specialised equipment and assistive technology to fully engage with the curriculum and develop vital digital and practical skills. Learning extends beyond the classroom with programs promoting community participation, social engagement and real-world experiences - from cooking and gardening to communication programs and excursions. Every opportunity is designed to build ability and confidence. Students are supported to secure a positive post-school pathway, i.e. supported employment and/or community participation.
