The practical focus on curriculum embraces the DETE framework. All students have a Negotiated Curriculum Plan updated annually. Since that time, the student population has changed significantly. The majority of students attending day school programs have a moderate to severe intellectual impairment or severe multiple impairments. Of particular interest in recent years has been the increase in the number of students presenting with either Downs Syndrome or severe autism with associated challenging behaviour.
Students travel to school by taxi, or bus and somelive close enough to walk to school.
The unit is located on the Windsor State School campus, in what was once the Infants' School, among established jacaranda and ficus trees. The buildings on the campus, which was established 125 years ago, are all heritage listed. We currently have twelve students whose major disability is Intellectual Impairment. Still another Special School to venture forth in the land down under. Bullimbal SSP has five classes, each consisting of five to six students.
