Callum's Story

Rossbourne School is an independent, co-educational, non-denominational secondary school for students identified as having learning difficulties.

Years 7 & 8

Our students are nurtured and supported during this time of personal transition; a time that is fascinating and complex: a time of accelerated growth and change; and of expanding horizons, self-discovery, and emerging independence.

Years 9 & 10

Students are guided to enhance their independence, empathy, self-reflectiveness and open-mindedness. Our curriculum provides students the opportunity to develop problem solving and decision making skills through an engaging, diverse and interactive program.

Years 11 & 12

With a strong focus on preparing for an independent life as a young adult, students gain knowledge and experience as they complete the VCAL, explore the world of TAFE and work while under the care and support of Rossbourne’s teachers, benefitting from our unique structures and options.
