Teaching and Learning


Staff ensure that planning is holistic and responsive to each students’ strengths. All learning programs are adjusted to accommodate individual needs and learning styles. Instructional strategies are selected to enhance engagement and achievement. Each aspect of the school contributes to the student’s educational journey and has its own unique focus.

Teachers use Positive Education principles to promote key expectations in all classes. Daily instruction incorporates additional supports for all students designed to help them become as autonomous as possible and includes:

  • Communication

  • Social Skills

  • Play Skills

  • Sensory Based Learning

  • Skills for Daily Living

  • Protective Behaviours

This is designed to promote our student to be:

  • Effective communicators

  • Have a sense of identity

  • Develop a sense of wellbeing

  • Be confident and involved learners

  • Have a connection with the world

Individual Education Plans for Primary and Lower Secondary students are based on the Western Australian Curriculum and incorporate

  • English

  • Humanities and Social Sciences

  • Mathematics

  • Technologies

  • Health and Physical Education

  • Science

  • The Arts

To provide an understanding of our class programs in Terms 1 and 3 an Individual Education Plan (IEP) is created for each student and in Terms 2 and 4 a report that directly addresses these individualised learning goals is sent home.
