Woden School
Our School

We are a Year 7-12 ACT Government school for students in Years 7-12 with an intellectual disability or complex physical disability.  We aim to help our students achieve a satisfying quality of life.  We do this by focusing on developing academic, social, personal, vocational and recreational skills.

The school is organised into 3 sub-schools which are Blue, Yellow and Red.  Student placement into sub-schools is based on their overall needs.  This enables students to do targeted learning programs.
The values that drive our actions are:

  • respect
  • endeavour
  • integrity
  • belonging

School Leavers with a Disability
Disability ACT provides some services and support for School Leavers with a Disability.
All young people have a unique and integral role to play within their families, their social network, and as a contributing member of the social, cultural, and economic life of the ACT community.

People with a disability leaving school should have the same opportunities to contribute in our community as any young person.
Some young people need help and guidance for a short period after they leave school to find their vocation and to establish their lives.
Other people need ongoing support to participate in our community.
The ACT Government assists young people with a disability and their families to enhance their capacity to contribute in the life of our community.


Please look at this important information for students and families to consider well before the final year of school.
