Centre for Diverse Learning

The school has a Centre for Diverse Learning.  There are four classes for students who have multiple disabilities and one class for students who have an intellectual disability.

The CDL focuses on increasing all students' basic literacy, numeracy and social skills.

The strong vocational emphasis in the CDL provides a stepped work experience program. All students undertake in-school work experience, and students with a moderate disability then work in an enclave site, based in the community. Students may then graduate to join their more able peers in an independent community-based work-experience placement.

Travel training is conducted throughout the year enabling students to learn to travel independently.

Faculty teaching aims:

• To provide individual learning plans through a life skills curriculum that caters for needs of students with disabilities.
• As a faculty we aim to enhance the abilities and skills of our students that best equip them for life after school.
• A section of the support Life Skills curriculum focuses on functional skills and outcomes through our travel training and community access program and work experience program.
