$200,000 funds a space of their own

A STATE Government grant will allow Kilberry Valley Primary School to support students with disabilities through a new learning space.
The $200,000 grant a part of the Inclusive Schools Fund will be used to build re-engagement spaces for students with disabilities.
These purpose-built areas will include withdrawal spaces, a multi-sensory room, outdoor learning and will be shared for out of school care as well as daily classes.
School principal Neil Cunningham said the grant will improve an aspect of the school’s existing facilities.
“We anticipate the development of small teaching spaces, a space for group activities, multi-sensory room, a shared facility for use by out-of-school-hours care, student access to quiet and supportive outdoor learning spaces,” Mr Cunningham said.
“We very much look forward to seeing the opportunities such a facility will provide to enrich the existing successful learning approaches for our students.”
