Our aim is to provide for the development of each student intellectually, socially, physically and emotionally. Individual programs are designed to promote student development in all these areas as well as maximising independence in functional activities of daily living. Each student is encouraged to be an active participant in their individual educational program. Facilities Specialist classes are conducted in purpose built areas including library, art, music, homecraft and science rooms. Swimming classes are conducted in the magnificent swimming pool complex. Sensory environments include a sensorimotor room and a newly constructed multisensory room.

A part time dance therapist also contributes to our DUKES program.
