Banmira Specialist School (formerly Verney Road School)

Progress at Banmira might look like a student using their communication device to start a conversation with a classmate, reading a familiar word independently for the first time or scanning groceries and serving a customer at our very own Mini Woolworths supermarket. Behind each of those moments is a team that knows the student well, sets ambitious goals and works together to help them get there.

Banmira Specialist School, is a specialist government school in Shepparton. Across our two campuses, we support almost 300 children and young people with intellectual disability, including those in our Early Education Program, through to Year 12. We are building a centre of excellence in specialist education by bringing together expertise in teaching, disability and allied health to help students learn, communicate and participate more independently.

Working at Banmira

We¿re a large school with a close-knit team culture. Teachers and education support staff work alongside colleagues in Allied Health, Wellbeing and Inclusion. We share what works, help each other find a way forward when a student needs a different approach and take shared responsibility for student learning and wellbeing.

Coaching happens where it¿s needed. A colleague might join you in class to model how to use a student¿s communication system during a lesson, help adapt a literacy task so a student can take part more independently or work with you to refine a positive behaviour support strategy.



Staff also develop their practice through collaborative planning, professional learning and classroom observation and feedback.

We welcome applicants with specialist education experience as well as those who are curious about the work and keen to learn. You¿ll work with knowledgeable colleagues who are willing to share their practice and help you build yours.

Our Campuses

Our Junior Campus on Parkside Drive opened in 2025 and is home to our Early Education Program and primary classes. Alongside purpose-built classrooms, the campus has a Community Hub with a sensory room, a Perceptual Motor Program space, a library, an art room, and a Parent and Wellbeing Hub.

Our Senior Campus on Verney Road supports students as they move into secondary learning and prepare for life beyond school. In spaces such as the Mini Woolworths supermarket, school coffee shop and homecrafts kitchen, students practise everyday skills, take on responsibilities and work with others. The campus also has a gymnasium and hosts Banmira Care, our High Intensity Outside School Hours Care program.

Teaching and learning

Our Early Education and Early Primary programs draw on the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework.



The Victorian Curriculum F¿10 Version 2.0 guides teaching and assessment from Foundation to Year 10. In the Senior Years, students access the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) or ASDAN programs according to their learning needs and pathway goals.

Every student has an Individual Education Plan developed in partnership with their family and reviewed through Student Support Group meetings. Class teams use these plans to set and monitor individual goals in literacy, numeracy, communication and other priority areas. Across both campuses, students build independent living skills through everyday learning and take part in specialist programs in areas such as the arts, music and physical education.

We serve families from Shepparton and surrounding communities, with school transport assistance, available for eligible students.
