Les Powell School has as its central aim the provision of high quality educational programs which support the needs of students with severe intellectual and multiple disabilities.

The School's motto is 'Towards Independence'. It reflects our aim to provide all students with learning outcomes relevant to present and future community living.

The Priority School Program (PSP) funding provides support to develop the students' communication programs, physiotherapy and parent information workshops. From Year 9 onwards transition is the focus for the students as they prepare for leaving school.
