About this listen

Leading a school is never easy, but what are the challenges you face when 100% of your students have special needs?

Murray Bowman is the principal of Pine Rivers Special School, which caters to students who have been verified as having a significant intellectual disability.

Many of the students also have a verified secondary disability area which adds to the complex nature of the learning requirements.

Every student in the school, whether from prep to year 12 require the highest level of support offered by Education Queensland, so it takes someone pretty special to lead a highly specialised unit of teachers and support staff.

We'll find out how Murray and his team of teachers, teacher aides and support staff care for the students and families of Pine Rivers Special School.
