Red Hill Special School is a
co-educational state school facility providing excellence in education in a
friendly and supportive environment. Our school was opened in 1985 to provide
educational programs to students with disabilities, particularly students with
multiple impairments. Red Hill School Campus supports school-age students with
high support needs, and very young children with developmental challenges. The
student population is drawn from across the central, north and west sides of
Brisbane.
We provide educational programs for
students between prep and school leaving age who may have significant
delays or impairments in the area of physical, sensory and intellectual
functioning. In addition a number of our students are diagnosed with an
Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Our specialisation in educational provision is to
provide programs for children and young people with multiple disabilities or
with a single impairment diagnosis coupled with complex and challenging health
support needs.
Our campus comprises the Early Childhood
Developmental Program (ECDP) and the main school, which is structured around
our Early Years, Middle, Junior Secondary and Senior School phases of learning.
The Early Childhood Developmental Program caters for children from birth to
pre-prep age with a disability or suspected disability. An integral part of the
Early Childhood Development Program is the shared Prep programs.
All of the school-aged students attending
Red Hill Special School have multiple impairments and have educational support
needs in the area of intellectual impairment. While many students have limited
mobility, there is a broad range of both physical and cognitive abilities
amongst the students.
