Aspley Special School

Brisbane Private Schools introduces Aspley Special School in Aspley, for all your education and learning needs.

Aspley Special School provides educational programs for between 60 and 70 students aged between 12 and 19 years of age with intellectual impairment and additional disabilities. Forty percent of students have an additional disability (autism, physical, vision and hearing impairments) with over 15 percentage having multiple impairments. Many students require additional support for specialised health requirements and complex and challenging behaviours.

As a result, our students require the highest level of support and adjustments to access the curriculum. To provide this our school has in excess of 35 staff comprising teachers, teacher aides, therapists, specialists and ancillary team members.

The school is unique in that it is one of only two special schools in Queensland that provides programs only for secondary aged students with disabilities. This uniqueness has enabled the school to develop and maintain a focus on learning experiences tailored to preparing students for post-school life.

The moment our students set foot in our school we are focused on preparing them for the moment they leave. With this in mind all programs are centred on ensuring students are ready to ‘transition’ into the broader community as independently as their capability enables. This focus is captured in our school vision “for our students to extend their ability and readiness to engage in personally meaningful life activities as content, valued members of the broader community”. Our vision is underpinned by our motto 'Learning for Life".
