Caboolture Special School, located on Gubbi Gubbi Country, where staff, students and school community members work together happily and productively every school day to achieve success. Our school is an amazing place to teach and learn, with modern resources and a commitment to excellence demonstrated in both our words and actions. Caboolture Special School parents and carers are highly supportive and are a valued partner in the success of each and every learner.
Over the years the school has grown rapidly with an addition of numerous classroom blocks. What began as a large 'covered area' under a tin roof became the hall complex which included a canteen and playground equipment. The hall building has since been updated with new audio-visual equipment and greatly improved flooring and acoustics. The canteen caters for larger numbers and the students' hospitality program. During 2010, the enrolment reached 160 students, offering year levels P-12 for both male and female students. Students were grouped into classes of 2 to 8 students, depending on need, each with a full time teacher and teacher aide. Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech language pathologists support students with therapy, where appropriate, and a chaplain has been available to work with the whole school community.
In keeping with educational research, the focus of the school curriculum has changed over the years to ensure currency and to best support the needs of students with a diverse and complex range of abilities. The school community looks forward to an exciting future with the inclusion of the Highly Individualised Curriculum under the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Framework. Currently, approximately 85% of our student cohort is engaged in learning in the Highly Individualised Curriculum.
