Welcome to the Blue Door!

A learning assistance and support centre based in Gisborne, Victoria.

Individualised learning support from experienced educators

 

We teach, assess and support students who are experiencing learning challenges.

We empower their parents and teachers by providing information and support.


We believe that all students, regardless of the range and severity of any cognitive, social-emotional, physical or sensory challenges, are able to experience success when they are provided with the support and adjustments they require.


A wealth of experience

Our teachers are VIT registered and most of us hold post-graduate qualifications in Special Education. All Blue Door teachers have extensive training, knowledge and experience working with children who require more intensive support in their learning.

Our centre has a particular focus on Specific Learning Disorders.

All our teachers are passionate about the work they do, and are ready to assist children to achieve their potential.
