Coburg Special Developmental School caters for 66 students aged 5-18 with an intellectual disability typically with an IQ below 50. Some students have additional learning needs such as challenging behaviours, communication, and high sensory needs. We provide a caring and challenging environment that enhances learning, personal growth, and wellbeing for all students.
Coburg SDS relocated in April 2024 to a new purpose-built school still located in Coburg and we are very proud of our calm and peaceful environment. Our new school has permanent facilities that allows us to cater for up to 96 students.
Coburg SDS staff work as a cohesive trans-disciplinary team with a child-centred approach which includes well established positive behaviour supports across the school, weekly classroom child centred learning collaborative meetings with our therapy staff, and allocated team planning time.
We have small class sizes and offer H&PE, Music and Art as specialist subjects. Our senior students run our Cafe Coburg as part of their internal Work Experience.
Coburg SDS delivers educational programs that build independence, engagement, and improved outcomes and are looking for staff who are eager to join a team that will `make a difference¿ for our school. Our current strategic plan ensures communication, functional skills and social and emotional learning are embedded through all aspects of our programs. We provide our students with a practical and functional program that includes social, physical, sensory, and work education. The development of effective communication systems for all our students is a major focus. Our curriculum is based on the Victorian Curriculum with a majority of students working on levels A-D.
Learning goals for each student are established through negotiated education plans developed in collaboration between education and therapy staff and families.
Our three school values ¿Building Relationships¿, ¿Building Communication¿ and ¿Building Independence¿ are an integral part of our school day and reflect the importance placed by the school on our SW-PBIS framework.
