Specialist Enrolment Criteria
The following specialist enrolment criteria have been specified and approved by the Regional Director, North West Victoria Region (as the Minister’s delegate), under section 2.2.16(b) of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic).
Students seeking priority enrolment under the specialist enrolment criteria must have a diagnosis for intellectual disability from a registered psychologist evidenced by:
- sub-average general intellectual functioning which is demonstrated by a full-scale score of two standard deviations or more below the mean score on a standardised individual test of general intelligence, for example a full-scale score of 70 or below on one of the recommended standardised individual tests of intelligence;
and
- significant deficits in adaptive behaviour established by a composite score of two standard deviations or more below the mean on an approved standardised test of adaptive behaviour, for example a Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales composite score of 70 or below;
and
- a history and evidence of an ongoing problem with an expectation of continuation during the school years.
Applications from out-of-zone students with disability who do not meet the above criteria may be prioritised on a case-by-case basis by the region, in consultation with the principal, considering the student’s education and support needs. Such applications can only be prioritised with approval from the Regional Director, North West Victoria Region (or delegate). For more information, see Enrolment in specialist schools.
