Summary An Extraordinary School: Re-modelling special education is the portrait of an innovative school that will challenge you to re-think how special education is taught. Port Phillip Specialist School has received national and international recognition as a best-practice model for using a unique three-pronged approach to education, where teachers and a range of health services professionals work collaboratively to deliver an arts-based curriculum that employs dance, drama, music and the visual arts to teach literacy, numeracy and living skills
