Welcome to Coolbellup Learning Centre’s website. Coolbellup Learning Centre is a primary Education Support Centre catering for students with a range of disabilities including intellectual, physical disabilities and/or Autism.

Individualised learning programs are delivered in a supportive learning environment where students are encouraged to develop independence skills whilst striving to develop their abilities and achieve their personal best.     Our grounds and facilities cater for high needs students and a school bus service provides transport for students to and from school.  As we are the only education support centre for students in years 1-7 in the local area our student catchment area encompasses suburbs such as Bicton, Willagee, Melville, Spearwood, Yangebup, Kardinya, Leeming and the surrounding Coolbellup areas.

Individual Education Programs (IEPs) are developed in collaboration with parents/carers, interagency and school staff. Life skills and functional programs are combined with academic programs enabling students to develop the skills required to actively participate in their local communities. We strive to ensure our students have the best possible educational experiences to acquire the skills, attitudes and qualities to cope with life’s challenges.

The Learning Centre is co-located on the Coolbellup Community School site which offers our students the ability to integrate with their mainstream peers. Integration programs are designed to suit their individual needs – programs of work are negotiated between the staff of both schools and focus on areas of student strength. Whole school activities are planned for all students on the site and include sports days, incursions and excursions as well as involvement in the school choir and combined events such as assemblies and graduation.

Staff at the Learning Centre are specialist trained and experienced in catering for students with high support needs. They are highly motivated and have developed strong, positive relationships with students and their families in order to foster the best possible outcomes for the students they support. 

I hope that you find this visit to our website informative. Please feel free to contact me should you have any enquiries or wish to provide feedback.
