Our school's mission is "Achieving Personal Success Together." We strive to enable our students and staff to reach their full potential in a safe, stimulating and flexible learning environment.

Our educational programs provide a balanced and personalised curriculum where student achievement is acknowledged and celebrated.

Ballarat Specialist School utilises PBIS to establish a climate in which appropriate behaviour is the norm. Teaching behavioural expectations and rewarding students for following them is a much more positive approach than waiting for misbehaviour to occur before responding.

Our staff and students do this by focusing on Respect, Responsibility, and Safety each day. These three areas serve as Ballarat Specialist Schools' "Core Values" and are taught and reinforced daily.
