Leda ESC opened in 1992 and achieved Independent Public School (IPS) status in 2015. We are a Kindergarten to Year 6 school and cater for students with a range of diagnosis including Global Developmental Delay (GSS), Intellectual Disability (ID), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Physical Disability and Vision Impairment. We provide a tailored, highly individualised curriculum for each of our students, depending on their unique needs.
Each student's learning program is determined by an Individual Education Plan (IEP) which is written in collaboration with parents and aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework, Western Australian Curriculum and Abilities Based Learning Education (ABLEWA). Classes are typically small with a high staff ratio to ensure maximum support for each student.
We share our site with Leda Primary School which allows us to offer a range of integration opportunities for students at both schools. The school is a member of the South Metropolitan Education Region and participates in the Education Support South Network (ESSN) and Peron Education Support Alliance (PESA) Networks. Collaborating with other schools through these networks allows us to share expertise and resources, enhancing our school's ability to maximise outcomes for every student.
School Vision
Every child, every opportunity
For all students to achieve their full potential through the delivery of high quality, engaging and individualised learning experiences which meet their unique needs within a safe and inclusive environment.
We offer a holistic approach to promoting each child's development and wellbeing, working in collaboration with families to prepare them for the opportunities and experiences of life.
Our belief is that students learn best when:
They are physically and emotionally healthy. They are in a safe, secure, nurturing environment with supportive boundaries. They are in a positive, relevant, stimulating environment. The teaching program reflects the individual's learning style and curriculum needs. They are provided with the opportunity to interact and access the broader community environment. Teachers and parents work together to benefit the child.
