| Rockingham Education Support Centre has been established for nineteen years sharing a site with the Rockingham Beach Primary School. The schools are located behind Palm Beach Jetty in Cockburn Sound and adjacent to Lake Richmond, renowned for its ancient stromolites. This situation provides ideal an environment for students to enhance their classroom activities through participation in maritime events and environmental studies. Students are drawn from the surrounding areas of Bungaree, Cooloongup, Hillman, Rockingham, Safety Bay and Waikiki. A free bus service is available for children attending the school. The Centre provides highly individualized programs for students with an identified intellectual disability. These programs are prepared by our highly experienced specialist teachers following consultation with parents, psychologist, speech, physiological and occupational therapists and reviewed on a regular basis. The majority of staff are members of the local community with a number of them having had their children attend the centre or primary school. Staff have held positions such as President of the P&C and one is currently a member of the Rockingham City Council Disabilities Advisory Group and another sits on the Centre for Community Services Industry Advisory Committee ensuring strong links with community organizations. With our highly qualified specialist teachers and education assistants the level of support for students is very high and ensures the best outcomes for all students. Presently the centre caters for 16 students with an additional 9 primary school students benefiting from our specialist programs on a casual basis. In addition to intensive literacy and numeracy programs; the centre provides excellent social skills, protective behaviours and pastoral care programs for our students. The Friendly Schools and Families antibullying program operates on campus with both schools adhering to the principles of the program. The curriculum programs are supported with regular excursions with a school camp organized for all students on a yearly basis. In the area of physical education students are able to access Riding for the Disabled horse riding lessons and specialist swimming lessons in addition to their usual programs. Special events include inter education support centre swimming and basketball carnivals with faction athletics and beach carnivals. Opportunities for further competition in inter school team sports and athletic carnivals are available through the primary school for those students who excel in these areas. All teaching areas are fully air conditioned with wet areas located in two classrooms. The centre has a fully equipped kitchen with laundry facilities. Greater emphasis is placed on the use of information technology as an integral part of the teaching and learning process.
