​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Our school provides educational programs for students aged between 5-18 years with an intellectual disability. 

Students are enrolled in this school in accordance with The Queensland Department of Education and Training placement/enrolment procedures.

Before a child can enrol at a special school, they must meet the following criteria:

  • The person has a disability as defined by the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA).
  • The person has a severe disability which includes an Intellectual Disability.
  • The person is unlikely to attain the levels of development which the person is capable unless the person receives special education.
  • The person's educational program is best delivered in a special school taking into account the appropriateness of this placement for the individual concerned.

Prospective parents are advised to talk to the Guidance Officer of their child's present school to commence the process. The Guidance Officer will then make contact with our school to arrange a visit.

View the Department's online calculator to see when your child can start Prep. Simply select your child's month and year of birth. 

​Mackenzie State Special School has an enrolment of approximately 120 students. The school has approximately 30 teaching staff and a similar number of teacher aides. 

Our school is divided into three sections aligned to the Curriculum based Stages of Schooling: 

  • Early Years / Middle Years Sector (Years P-6)
  • Junior Secondary Sector (Years 7 - 10)
  • Senior Sector (Years 11-12)
