Acknowledgement to Country
​We would like to acknowledge that we work and live on the country of the Yorta Yorta peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather today.
We pay our respect and give gratitude to the Traditional Owners of the beautiful land and waterways we enjoy, and recognise their care, protection and continued connection to the land and waters.
We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for they hold the memories, the traditions, and aspirations for the future. We celebrate the rich heritage and the continuing culture of the First Peoples. This continent always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

"To provide inclusive and engaging learning that empowers all
​ students for life"

Welcome to Echuca Twin Rivers Specialist School, Echuca Twin Rivers Specialist School provides education for children aged 5-18 years with intellectual and associated disabilities. The school enrolment has steadied after a period of rapid growth. Approximately 113 students attend the school. The school provides education based on the Victorian Curriculum and it is differentiated to meet individual needs and abilities. We develop Individual Education Plans (IEP) for each student designed to be motivating, challenging and flexible. The school uses the Victorian Curriculum from F-10 and the Victorian Pathways Certificate for the last three years of education.
 
Family connections are vital, and the continued support of families is greatly valued. Student welfare is a high priority, and we maintain close contact with all families. This provides holistic support not only to students but also to caregivers. Our families come from a diverse background across a large geographical area.
 
Some of our students have high paramedical needs. Access to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and psychological services is important to our clientele. Specialised therapy and augmented communication equipment support these programs.
 
The school prides itself on having an open and welcoming environment that encourages parents and the community to be active in the life of the school. Links with the community are encouraged and strong partnerships have been established. The school plays host to students on work experience, community service programs as well as providing onsite training for staff from local mainstream schools and student teachers from various Universities.
 
The leadership team is made up of Principal, Assistant Principal, 1 Leading Teacher, 3 department leaders and a learning specialist. We also offer an Inclusion Coach, Tutor, Speech Therapist, Social Worker and Mental Health Practitioner and NDIS Navigator. The Assistant Principal leads Engagement and Wellbeing. There are 16 teachers, 24 Education Support Staff and 3 Specialist Teachers. The school is divided into a Primary and a Secondary Department.
 
The school has firmly established the Inclusive School Wide Positive Behaviour program. Each week an expected behaviour is taught explicitly along with a Positive Behaviour Award handed out. Students receive stamps, which are added up and traded in for class rewards.
