Our senior students are also offered access to VSS (Vocational Education and Training in Schools) courses. Our individualised programs are designed to maximise the development of independent living skills, communication, socialisation and mobility.

Our planning sessions happen each year in Term One. The Classroom Teacher, SESO (Special Education Support Officer), Senior Teacher and family are invited to contribute to this document. We also invite any other stakeholders that are involved in the students’ life that can contribute to the plan. At the end of each year the planning team meets  to a review the EAP. This is a time for celebration and to make recommendations for the following year. Included in these meetings is information and support for navigating the NDIS amongst the many other supports available in the community for our families.
