Port Phillip Specialist School

Welcome to Port Phillip Specialist School, a unique institution located in the vibrant neighborhood of Port Melbourne, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing a tailored educational experience for children with individual learning needs.

At Port Phillip Specialist School, we believe that every child is unique, and we work closely with both you and your child to develop a program that meets their specific learning requirements. Our approach combines artistic activities and therapeutic relationships to address emotional and developmental needs, promoting self-healing, growth, and self-awareness.

Our primary goal is to empower children to participate in their day-to-day activities as independently as possible. To achieve this, all students engage in a variety of physical activities that are tailored to their individual needs. We understand the critical role that physical activity plays in the overall well-being of our students.

We are proud to be actively involved in our local community. In a heartwarming display of support, businesses throughout Port Melbourne recently donated helmets and bikes, as reported by Nine News on February 17, 2017.

The health, safety, and well-being of all children and young people are of utmost importance to us. As an institution, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards child abuse, and we take all allegations and safety concerns very seriously. Our commitment is to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment where all students can thrive, regardless of their sexual or gender identity, cultural background, disability, or other circumstances. We recognize and embrace the diversity of all children, including the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, children with disabilities, and vulnerable children.

In acknowledging the traditional custodians of the lands where we meet and work across Australia, we respectfully pay our respects to Elders; past, present, and emerging. We are dedicated to making a positive contribution to the education and well-being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people and their families.

At Port Phillip Specialist School, we value and celebrate diversity, and we are committed to eliminating all forms of discrimination in the provision of educational services. Join us in creating a supportive and nurturing environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
