Gympie Special School is a P-12 school located on Cootharaba Road, Gympie within the North Coast Region of Education Queensland. All students enrolled have an Intellectual Disability. The school facility is in a new growth corridor and is situated next to Gympie State High School. Although both schools operate separately and have their own Principal, the schools share some learning spaces and resources. 

At Gympie Special School, we celebrate and further develop students' individual abilities. Our aim is to provide a broad and balanced curriculum that offers each individual student the opportunity to develop realistic and relevant knowledge and skills to ensure their fullest participation in their community.

Every student in Prep to Year 10 has an Individual Curriculum Plan (ICP). The ICP in conjunction with the class program enables students to engage with the Australian Curriculum on the same basis as same age peers while guiding them to achieve success in their learning.

Senior school students in Years 11 and 12 are involved in a variety of Work Industry programs which include: Snack Attack Cafe and Market Garden to name a few.

Our School Guidance Officer ensures that students settle into our school and is there to support students as they transition to post school life.

This role assists families and the school to ensure transition is seamless thus further maximising students' learning.

We are very proud that our school has developed a reputation for excellence.
