In Sunny Queensland the community spirit lives strong in local legends Sue and Rebekah. They’re teachers at Calamvale Special School, a learning environment dedicated to students with an intellectual disability, autistic spectrum disorder and sensory or multiple impairments from age five to seventeen.

The teachers and support staff, people like Sue and Rebekah, provide each student highly individualised programs. That means that each kid is offered a way to learn that works for them, and this goes beyond the classroom. As Sue told us:

“This includes everything from communication, making sense of the world, forming meaningful relations and developing their physical and mobility capabilities. Our school is growing and our student cohort is constantly changing. Our challenge is to continue to provide the facilities and learning environments that maximise each learner’s educational experience, enabling them to successfully connect and communicate with others in socially authentic experiences.”
