Address About Us:
Ipswich Special School strives for excellence in education by providing a supportive, focused learning environment in which all students work towards participating effectively as valued members of society. Our school motto is 'Together We Can' and we believe it is essential to develop and maintain strong partnerships with our community and in particular parents/carers, to promote our vision 'Successful Students. Successful Futures'.
Some of our students also have specialised health needs and all students have needs associated with their communication skills. Students who attend our school undertake their learning activities in the following programming sectors - ECDP (age 3 years to 5 years) and Early Years (Prep and years 1 and 2), Middle Years (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6), Junior Secondary (Years 7, 8, 9 and 10) and Senior Secondary (Years 11, 12, Extension). Classes in our school are sometimes non-graded to provide flexibility for students of similar ability, educational needs and age to be grouped together for learning programs.
For every student our aim is the same: To provide a safe learning environment that prepares students to be independent and resourceful.
