Beverley Park School

Beverley Park School delivers quality educational programs for students, from Kindergarten to Year 12, with a moderate or severe intellectual disability. Most students have additional or multiple disabilities which may include physical disabilities, sensory impairment, autism and complex needs. The school has fifty six students across nine classes. Students are enrolled after a successful referral is made to the regional placement panel. Students learn to engage in a supportive learning environment assisted by innovative technology and quality teaching practices. Beverley Park School works collaboratively with parents to provide personalised learning and support programs which focus on student achievement in academic, communication, mobility, leisure and social skills. The K - 6 curriculum and 7 - 12 Life Skills curriculum are implemented. Students work towards the Higher School Certificate. We promote high expectations for our students. Beverley Park School offers learning opportunities through quality programs such as Hydrotherapy, Conductive Education, Environmental Education, Community Access and Integration. Personalised programs promote academic skills as well as building communication, social, mobility, living and leisure skills to enable our students to lead fulfilling lives. The school’s visual arts program has provided opportunities for our students to explore and develop skills and interests in art. Our students’ art has been displayed at venues across the region and at a school visual arts exhibition. Awards have been achieved through various local and state competitions. Our students become valued members of the community through programs that foster positive values, attitudes and behaviours such as the Positive Behaviour for Learning program and social skills programs. Student leadership is fostered through peer support with local High Schools students, a Student Voice Day, acknowledgement of student leaders in Year 12 and through the Rotary Youth Excellence Awards.
