Welcome to Mackenzie State Special School. We are a unique school site in that we are co-located with Mackenzie State Primary School sharing a campus and some facilities.
Mackenzie State Special School is a purpose-built facility that caters for students from P-12 with an Intellectual Disability.
Our shared vision is to engage all students in meaningful, differentiated and authentic learning opportunities through the Australian Curriculum.
Our values are respect for self, respect for others and respect for our school and community. These values are taught explicitly in the classroom and modelled by staff in all the school environments.
Our vision and values are evident in our commitment to:
School Vision: Creating a culture of engagement, belonging, and achievement through flexible learning for every student
School Mission: Engage, Belong, Achieve!
- Provide a safe and secure learning environment where students are actively engaged and experience successful learning.
- Individualise the curriculum to meet each student’s individual learning needs.
- Acknowledge, value and celebrate students for their individual achievements in learning.
- Facilitate development of core skills to maximum each student’s participation in society now and in the future.
- Create a sense of pride and a connectedness between families and our school.
I am incredibly proud of the learning that happens at Mackenzie State Special School, and I look forward to welcoming you in person at our wonderful campus.
