Programs

The educational programs are relevant to students’ needs, interests and abilities and are age appropriate. The teaching programs aim to prepare students for their present and future environments, including employment, independent living, community participation and further education.

Programs for students having special needs are carefully planned in consultation between school staff, the student and parents. An Individualised Education Plan (IEP) is prepared for students in the junior school and an Individualised Transition Plan (ITP) for senior students.

The students undertake a special program of study that leads them to Higher School Certificate (Life Skills). The program is modified to suit the student’s individual needs. This program does not require external exams and does not count towards the ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank).
