Marnebek School is a prominent dual-campus specialist school located in Cranbourne, dedicated to providing exceptional educational outcomes for students with intellectual disabilities from Foundation to Year 12. Recently, Marnebek School received a significant investment of $38.34 million from the State Government to modernize and enhance our facilities.
This substantial funding has enabled the creation of new purpose-built classroom learning environments on both campuses, alongside state-of-the-art resource spaces. These spaces now house specialized programs in STEM, Food Technology, Physical Education, Art, and Library facilities.
Our educational approach is guided by a clear vision and set of values:
School Vision: Marnebek School is committed to fostering a stimulating and engaging environment where students can embrace learning and realize their full potential. We prioritize their social, emotional, and physical well-being, empowering them to become active and valued members of their community.
School Values: At Marnebek School, we uphold the values of Resilience, Respect, and Responsibility in every facet of our community:
Resilience: We hold ourselves and each other accountable within our school community. Respect: We value and celebrate the diversity of others throughout our school community. Responsibility: We operate with honesty, ethics, and transparency across our school community. Our strategic focus centres on enhancing literacy and numeracy skills among our students throughout our comprehensive four-year plan. This initiative stems from our self-evaluation report, which identified areas for improvement under the Framework for Improving Student Outcomes (FISO) in Teaching and Learning.
Throughout this strategic plan, we aim to build the capacity of our educators to deliver high-quality teaching tailored to students with diverse disabilities. We set rigorous standards for professional teaching practices, empowering our staff to take ownership of student learning and fostering a collaborative, supportive school culture.
