Welcome to Mornington Special Developmental School.

Thank you for visiting our website and taking the time to learn about our school. We understand that families often come to Mornington Special Developmental School at an important point in their child's educational journey. Whether you are exploring school options, have recently been referred to our school, or are already part of our community, we warmly welcome you and hope this website provides a genuine insight into the caring, inclusive, and supportive environment we have created for our students.

At Mornington Special Developmental School, we are committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment where every student is known, valued, and supported to reach their full potential. We recognise that every child brings their own unique strengths, interests, and aspirations, and we celebrate the meaningful progress and achievements that reflect each student's individual learning journey.

Our dedicated staff work closely with families, carers, therapists, and the wider community to provide personalised learning experiences that promote growth, independence, communication, and wellbeing. By working together, we help our students develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive both at school and beyond.

Our school is guided by the values of Respect, Excellence, and Kindness. These values shape everything we do—from the way we build positive relationships to the high-quality learning experiences we provide each day. We believe every student deserves to feel safe, respected, included, and encouraged to be the very best they can be.

Working together with families is fundamental to everything we do at Mornington Special Developmental School. We value the trust families place in us and believe that open communication and shared understanding create the best possible outcomes for every child. We welcome families as active and valued members of our school community.

Whether you are learning about Mornington Special Developmental School for the first time or have been part of our community for many years, we hope you experience the warmth, dedication, and sense of belonging that make our school such a special place.

I look forward to working in partnership with our students, families, staff, and the wider community as we continue to build on the strong foundations of Mornington Special Developmental School. It is a privilege to lead a school where every child is known, valued, and celebrated for who they are. Together, we strive to create a learning environment where students feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow in confidence, independence, and capability, while every family feels welcomed, heard, and connected as an important part of our school community.
