Transport Training

Functional Academics

Mathematics and English skills are developed to improve community access and comprehension in the community

The school-developed scope and sequence, identifies skills in these five domains and is taught in a planned sequential manner. Training commences at school and is broadened to include local shops, shopping centres, and city precincts as determined by the student’s year level and capabilities.

When students have developed skills across the domains they are assessed and considered for independent travel training by the school-funded Transport Co-ordinator.
