Independent Living Centre

SKILLS FOR DAILY LIFE

Each day students undertake a range of daily living tasks relevant to their individual needs. This may include cooking - following a recipe, Toilet Training, brushing teeth, washing hands or more advanced skills such as managing clothing and laundry. These skills are highly individualised and will be incorporated into a child’s learning in collaboration with families.

The Independent Living Centre is more than just a learning space; it is a bridge to greater independence, equipping students with the practical skills they need to thrive in their everyday lives and future endeavors.

The new Independent Living Centre at our school is a transformative space designed to empower students with the skills and confidence needed for everyday life. The centre features a fully equipped kitchen, laundry area, bedroom, and living space, offering a real-world environment where students can practice and master essential daily tasks.

With adaptive tools and technologies tailored to individual needs, students learn cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and personal care skills in a supportive and accessible setting. The centre emphasises hands-on, experiential learning, enabling students to develop independence at their own pace.
