Location ProfileYalingbu Yirramboi - The Royal Children's Hospital School was officially registered as a Victorian Government school in June 2024. The school keeps students connected to their education by bridging the gap between hospital, home, and their base education setting.
Educators design and deliver targeted and individualised learning to improve valued student outcomes (academic, developmental, physical, social, and emotional wellbeing). We are dedicated to empowering students and caregivers, advocating for their needs, and fostering a supportive environment for them to become champions of their own education post-hospital discharge.
Learners at the school are a transient student cohort, who receive education interventions on a short or long-term basis depending on eligibility and educational risk. Teachers meet new patients to discuss their learning needs and determine the appropriate level of educational support. Eligible students will be offered individual (bedside) learning, or group (classroom) learning experiences, or a combination of both.
Each student receives an Individual Education Plan (IEP) prepared in collaboration with the student, families/carers, multidisciplinary treatment teams, and the base educational setting. The IEP is reviewed regularly and updated in line with the student's educational progress.
Primary EducationThe school offers an evidence-based program that is built on high-impact teaching and wellbeing strategies and underpinned by the Victorian Curriculum, with a focus on literacy and numeracy.
Secondary Education, VCE and Senior Secondary PathwaysSpecialist teachers assist secondary and senior secondary students to remain connected to their studies during a hospital stay, with a focus on educational tasks assigned by their base school.
