Mornington Special Developmental School is a Specialist School that prides itself on being a welcoming and friendly school that caters for students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities who reside on the Mornington Peninsula. .The school is located beside Mornington Park Primary School, thus providing excellent opportunities to develop interaction and integration programs, which further enhance our school-based programs. Our current enrolments including our Early Education Program is 58 students.
All groups include 1 teacher and 1 ES(educational support)staff, with the student numbers averaging between 6-8 students per group. All programs are based on the belief that all students have the capacity to learn and can experience success. On this assumption, Mornington Special Developmental School aims to provide a friendly, safe and structured learning environment within which students have the opportunity to prepare for and take up their rightful place in society. A fundamental element in achieving this broad aim is to ensure a positive and mutually supportive partnership between parents and staff, and effective communication between home and school is a key strategy in the school’s operation.
Currently we are in the Building Futures Progam to rebuild and relocate the school to Hastings. Our new site will be beside Westernport Secondary College. It is envisaged we will move to our new school some time near the end of 2013.
