The Ponds School is a purpose built School for Specific Purposes located in The Ponds. The school has an enrolment of 110 students, in 19 classes, ranging from K-11 and will eventually be K-12. All students have a moderate or severe intellectual disability. Many of our students have complex needs such as: autism, challenging behaviours, physical disabilities and health care needs. Each student has a Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) developed in collaboration with families and therapists and other key stakeholders, which works towards the achievement of person centred goals and outcomes from the K-10 syllabus. Students travel to school from a wide geographical area. Due to the diverse geographical areas that our school community call home, building strong relationships with our school community is a priority. The Ponds is a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) school and has established a Learning Support and Wellbeing team. All members of staff are committed to the Quality Teaching Framework and work collaboratively to deliver individualised and meaningful education in a safe and caring environment. The Ponds School supports families, encourages independence and assists students to become valued members of the community now and in the future.
