Our school provides educational programs for students aged between 5-18 years with an intellectual disability.
For children of compulsory school age, enrolment is subject to the process outlined in the Department of Education's Procedure:
Enrolment in state primary, secondary and special schools.
Additional enrolment criteria can be found on the State Special School Enrolment Procedure.
To be eligible for enrolment in a state special school, all four of the following criteria must be met:
- The person has a disability as defined by the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA);
- The person has a severe disability which includes an intellectual disability;
- The person is unlikely to attain the levels of development of which the person is capable unless the person receives special education;
- The person's educational program is best delivered in a special school taking into account the appropriateness of this placement for the individual concerned.
Prospective parents are advised to talk to the Guidance Officer of their child's present school to commence the process. Please contact our Guidance Officer or Principal if you are interested in learning more about the enrolment process or visiting the school.
Information sessions are also held at the school every year for families wanting to find out about the enrolment process.
