About us
Belmore School is a newly renovated, specialised educational setting for students aged 5 to 18, located in Balwyn, Melbourne. We cater to a maximum of 60 students, all of whom have complex physical disabilities and/or require paramedical support. Each of our small classes includes a teacher and an education support staff member. Every student has a comprehensive Individualised Education Plan aligned with the Victorian Curriculum.
Belmore School also features a highly accomplished onsite allied health team that works closely with teachers and education support staff. This team includes two Physiotherapists, two Occupational Therapists, two Speech Pathologists, a Music Therapist, and an Allied Health Assistant. An experienced nurse is also onsite at all times to manage students’ medical needs. This integrated approach ensures that all staff are trained, skilled, and well-acquainted with each student’s unique goals, complex communication needs, and personalised physical program adaptations.
Before and after school supervision parent notification
Student safety at Belmore School is our highest priority and the safe and appropriate supervision of students is an important element of our duty of care to students. Part of this duty is ensuring parents and students are aware of our student supervision arrangements before and after school.
Before school: School grounds are supervised at 8:50 am in the classroom or front office.
After school: School grounds are supervised up until 3:10pm at the front office.
Students on school grounds outside these times will not be supervised (unless they are attending a before or after school care program or supervised extracurricular activity).
Parents/carers are requested to ensure that students do not attend school outside of these supervised times unless pre-arranged.
For a copy of our school’s Yard Duty and Supervision Policy contact the school office on 9859 8762. This policy includes Example School’s student supervision arrangements across the school day, including before and after school.
