Enrolment Criteria

The following entry eligibility criteria for Wayi School has been specified and approved by the Regional Director, North Western Victoria Region (as the Minister’s delegate), under section 2.2.16(b) of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic). Our enrolment criteria have been determined based on the identified education needs of students in the community. A student’s enrolment will be reviewed periodically in line with their needs.

Students seeking to enrol at Wayi School must have:

• A diagnosis for Intellectual Disability from a registered psychologist evidenced by:
  • A.
    • Sub-average general intellectual functioning which is demonstrated by a full-scale score of two standard deviations or more below the mean score on a standardised individual test of general intelligence, for example a full-scale score of 70 or below on one of the recommended standardised individual tests of intelligence;

Applications from students who do not satisfy the above criteria will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the region, in consultation with the Principal, in consideration of the student’s education and support needs. The Regional Director, North Western Victoria Region must approve enrolments for students who do not meet the eligibility criteria.
