Location ProfileNaranga is a school in Frankston for students aged 5 to 18 who have a mild intellectual disability. Our motto is 'Learning for Life', and we aim to prepare each student to be an active contributor within the community. We provide an engaging and comprehensive developmental curriculum that ensures each student will achieve personal success, and achieve progress within a supportive environment. Programs are innovative and accommodate the individual learning styles and needs of students. Integrated and holistic learning opportunities are developed so that students acquire knowledge and experience within engaging activities.
An Individual Education Plan is developed for each student in consultation with families and carers. The Victorian Curriculum is delivered within a framework of whole-school expectations. Students in their final two years of school work towards transitioning into post school options. Senior students also have the opportunity to participate in select TAFE courses and also SBATS.
The staffing structure is designed to support and extend student learning by focusing on interests, skills and wellbeing. In addition to traditional subjects such as English and Mathematics, the school offers learning opportunities through specialist activities such as Health and Physical Education, The Arts, Digital and Design Technology and Science. Additional supports are provided through student wellbeing, psychology, speech pathology and occupational therapy.
The learning journey at Naranga is supported by School-Wide Positive Behaviour Supports and Restorative Practices, which are incorporated into daily school life. Students' achievements are regularly celebrated at every level: within classes, in sub-schools, across the whole school and in the broader community. We are proud and active members of the Sustainable Schools program.
Parents are strongly encouraged to be involved in the development of their child's academic learning program, and as part of the broader school community. We work closely with parents to host information sessions, a Parents and Friends group, a fundraising group, open days and various sporting and musical events. Our School Concert is the highlight of our calendar year.
Naranga School is identified as having a low socio-economic band. In 2022 we received additional funding under Equity Reform. This money was used to support individualised learning programs for students through smaller class groups, explicit instruction, additional education support staff and therapy services.
In 2022, 160 students were educated and supported by 34 teachers and 26 education support staff, including a psychologist, speech pathologist, mental health practitioner and occupational therapist.
