Is Wayi School the school for your child?

Wayi School strives to provide a safe, inclusive and supportive school environment which values the human rights of all students and staff. Our school provides highly individualised programs of learning for students with an intellectual disability. We welcome students from 5 to 18 years of age. School participation maximises life opportunities for children and young people by providing them with a comprehensive learning program and access to support networks. It also helps to develop important skills, knowledge and values that set them up for further learning and active participation within their local community. Wayi School is committed to creating a school community where all members of our school community are welcomed, accepted and treated equitably and with respect regardless of their backgrounds or personal attributes such as race, language, religious beliefs, gender identity, disability or sexual orientation so that they can participate, achieve and thrive at school.

What our students like about Wayi

Hi my name is Ruby, I am 13 years old and in year 8. This is my first year at Wayi School. I like this school because the teachers are kind and helpful and they know how to joke and are good at teaching. The school is safe and set out well, I like being with the secondary students. Everyone loves to play basketball and football at lunch, this is my favourite part of the day. This year I have worked hard in maths and writing and I am proud that I have learnt about time.

Primary Program

Primary Program

Our Primary School focuses on developing the foundational skills students need to support learning and independence. Individual student learning goals aligned with the Victorian Curriculum are identified through collaboration between teachers, families and students where possible. Teachers and therapists work together to design learning programs that meet each individual's needs through a holistic learning approach, with opportunities for students to build their skills through the inclusion of play-based and sensory learning opportunities.
