Overview

Beaumont College supports students with a broad range of physical and learning impairments for over forty years on a residential or day basis. We strive to offer opportunities to learn across five learning pathways:

Sensory Communication Pathway

Students following this pathway will develop increased levels of engagement with a broader range of activities and people. Students will work towards outcomes to support their transition and a future quality of life. Tangible outcomes may include the development of anticipation, a willingness to explore, and participation in daily routines.

Communication and Interaction

Students following this pathway will be supported to build upon emerging cognitive skills and formal expressive/receptive communication skills. Students will be working towards tangible outcomes which may include the development of turn taking, attention and listening, following simple instructions, and learning new vocabulary.

Skills for Independent Living

Students following this pathway benefit from the support that comes from working in partnership with another person and/or specialist equipment. The activities in the pathway provide opportunities for the student to identify their preferred support approaches and trial a range of specialist support equipment to find what works best for them.

Skills for Life and Work

This pathway will take the student through a mixed programme of activities that will enable them to prepare for living a more independent life and participate in community-based activity. They will learn new skills that maximise independence within familiar routines such as organisational skills, money handling, and personal safety.

Access to Learning

This pathway involves preparation for the future opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of adulthood and work/ volunteering life. The pathway aims to facilitate the transition from college to training, employment, volunteering, or to continue in education. It focuses on preparing for future life choices through developing work and independence skills.
