AT Marnebek School, every child is welcomed into a vibrant and supportive learning community that prioritises their individual growth and development. Located in Cranbourne East, Marnebek’s dual-campus school is dedicated to providing an engaging environment where students are empowered to embrace learning and achieve their full potential. Through a holistic approach, the school builds students’ social, emotional, and physical wellbeing, ensuring they grow into active and valued members of their communities. Supporting Marnebek students is a dedicated team of professionals, including educators, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, psychologists, and NDIS supports. This extensive network works collaboratively to create a learning environment that not only fosters academic achievement but also prepares students for life beyond the classroom. With the integration of technology and a range of sensory spaces, the school provides the tools and resources necessary for its students to flourish. One of the exciting developments at Marnebek School is participation in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) navigators initiative. This program, set to be fully implemented in all Victorian government specialist schools by 2025, is designed to help families navigate the complexities of the NDIS and maximise the benefits available to their children.
The role of the NDIS navigators at Marnebek will include providing information and advice on the NDIS and available supports, assisting with accessing the NDIS, and offering guidance on selecting the best services for your child. They will also support families in managing NDIS plans and address any questions or concerns that arise. Additionally, Marnebek navigators will help connect families with NDIS local area coordination partners and early childhood partners for ongoing advice and support. At Marnebek School, the team is committed to creating an inclusive environment where every child can succeed. The team is proud to offer the resources, expertise, and support necessary to help its students reach their full potential.
