Esperance Education Support Centre is a Level 3 school co-located with Esperance Senior High School. The centre provides an individualised and purposeful curriculum for students with disability. The centre’s vision is ‘young people, empowered by choice, participating in and contributing to their community’ and this vision is reflected across the curriculum, with many learning opportunities provided in the community or in partnership with community members. The curriculum is guided by the Individual Education Plans and Individual Transition Plans of the students. These plans are negotiated by the Education Support Centre’s teaching staff with parents and carers, and in the case of transition plans, with students.

Students of Esperance Education Support Centre benefit from access to appropriate mainstream classes offered by Esperance Senior High School. The students of Esperance Senior High School benefit from this inclusion through experiencing the diversity of the community within their classroom, and through the additional support that Education Support Centre Education Assistants can provide to class members. Students of the Education Support Centre are valued members of the campus community, and alongside their Esperance Senior High School peers enjoy the important whole school events of the campus such as balls, carnivals, special celebratory days and ceremonies.
