Welcome to
Verney Road School

Verney Road School in partnership with parents, carers and the community provides an opportunity for all children to have a meaningful and worthwhile education that maximises their talents and abilities and enhances respect and self-esteem and prepare each individual for a purposeful pathway into adulthood.

New school name announcement:
Banmira Specialist School

We are excited to announce that Verney Road School will be known by our new name, ‘Banmira Specialist School‘. 
‘Banmira’ is a local Yorta Yorta and Bangarang language word meaning ‘valley’ (for example, Goulburn Valley).

Excellence in Supportive Learning

Verney Road School (VRS) is a state government educational facility in the North Eastern Victoria regional city of Shepparton. Students at the school are funded under the Program for Students with Disabilities (PSD) and have a mild to profound intellectual disability. Many students have multiple diagnoses of disability which may include Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down Syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), associated impairments such as sensory and physical impairments and/or challenging behaviours.

Our Units

Early Education

Our Early Education Program caters for children from the age of 2.8 years. It is a centre-based program that provides a support service to parents and the family.

Junior School

Our Junior School, which consists of Early & Lower Middle Years, caters for school-aged children from the ages of 5 to 15 years.

Senior School

Upper Middle Years & Senior Years begin the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) and School-Based Apprenticeships/Traineeships (SBAT). It is a ‘hands-on’ applied option for students in Years 10, 11 and 12. 

Coming Soon:
Our New Campus

The staged relocation of Verney Road School sees the major upgrade of the former Wanganui Park Secondary College on Parkside Drive, Shepparton.

School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support

School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) is a framework that helps us to plan and implement practices across the whole school, to improve educational and behaviour outcomes for all students.

The SWPBS framework is founded on a positive approach to whole school well being with targeted approaches for students with higher levels of need.
