About the project

We completely rebuilt this school (previously known as Warrnambool Special Developmental School), giving students and staff the modern facilities they need.

The school consulted students, teachers and the local community about needs. This helped to identify what building works were needed. The curriculum needs of the school, as well as their future ambitions, were also considered as part of this process​. ​​

Funding

In the 2015-16 State Budget, $5 million was allocated to the school. The Government has subsequently announced $14.6 million in additional funding.
