Enrolment

All students will have an initial assessment by an Educational Psychologist on entry to the school. We arrange this for you at no cost.

Criteria for entry - Broadmeadows Special Developmental School is a Victorian Government school for students aged between 5 and 18 years with an intellectual disability in the moderate to profound range.  To be eligible to attend Broadmeadows SDS a student must have a formal diagnosis of Intellectual Disability. This does not preclude other disabilities and/or disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder or sensory impairments.

Step 1 - Enrolment Enquiry Form

Fill in an Enrolment Enquiry Form. Once completed, a member of our school Enrolment Team will be in contact with you.
