At Nursery Road State Special School, we are dedicated to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment for all our students. Catering to learners from Prep to Year 12, we specialise in supporting students with intellectual disabilities and a variety of additional learning needs. Our mission is to empower every student to reach their full potential through tailored, high-quality education and support.
In our Prep to Year 10 programs, we deliver engaging and meaningful learning experiences based on the Australian Curriculum, ensuring a well-rounded education that covers all key learning areas. For our senior students, we provide tailored learning opportunities through the QCAA Guidelines for Individual Learning, complemented by a variety of Certificate I courses. These programs are designed to equip students with essential skills and confidence for their future pathways.
Our Early Childhood Development Program (ECDP) plays a pivotal role in our community by focusing on early intervention for children aged birth to five years. Through this program, we help lay a strong foundation for future learning and development, ensuring every child has a strong start.
We are proud to have a dedicated and multidisciplinary team that includes therapists (Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, and Speech-Language Pathologists), Social Workers, Guidance Officers, and Vocational Education Trainers. These professionals work collaboratively with educators to provide comprehensive support tailored to each student’s unique needs. By engaging with families and the wider community, we foster a holistic approach to education and development.
Our facilities are thoughtfully designed to enhance the learning experience and promote active engagement. They include a heated indoor swimming pool, a large oval, a state-of-the-art Hospitality Hub, beautiful gardens, and accessible play spaces. These facilities are integral to providing therapeutic, educational, and recreational opportunities for all students.
We embrace a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) framework, which underpins our school culture. Guided by our core values of being Safe, Respectful, and a Learner, we create a positive and supportive environment where students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
