Welcome to

COBURG SDS

Coburg SDS is a dynamic Special Developmental School situated in the North Western region of Melbourne.

Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Coburg Special Developmental School.
 
In 2024, we proudly moved into our wonderful, purpose-built campus on Urquhart Street. This new space brings our whole school community together in a safe, modern, and inclusive environment designed specifically to meet the needs of our students. It marks an exciting new chapter for our school and provides the ideal setting for rich learning experiences and connection.
 

At Coburg SDS, we are dedicated to supporting every student to reach their full potential through a child-centred, transdisciplinary approach. Our values — Building Independence, Building Communication, and Building Relationships — shape everything we do and reflect what is important to our students, families, and staff.
We foster a positive and engaging environment where student voice is encouraged and life beyond school is always in focus. Each student has personalised learning goals developed through close collaboration between educators, therapists, and families. Onsite speech and occupational therapists, in collaboration with teachers and educational support staff, ensure students can access the curriculum in ways that suit their individual needs.
 

We invite you to explore our website and discover more about our community, programs, and shared commitment to every learner's growth and success.

Warm regards,

Warren Tofts

Principal, Coburg SDS

We provide a friendly and caring environment that enhances learning, personal growth and well-being for students with a moderate to profound intellectual disability as well as sensory and physical impairments and autism spectrum disorder.

The school caters for families from the northern and western suburbs, from a range of socio-economic and ethnic background. Students attending the school generally reside within our designated transport area.

 

Our School Vision

At Coburg SDS we strive to provide all students with the skills needed to meet their full potential through our child centred learning approach. Students are empowered to be active members of the school and wider community by building independence, communication and relationships.  We work together as a team to provide a positive, safe and engaging learning environment where student voice and readiness for life after school is at the centre of our teaching and learning.
