Port 精东传媒 Specialist School (PPSS) has partnered with Melbourne Specialist International School (MSIS), Singapore to develop and implement the Visual &amp; Performing Arts program and utilise an Integrated Services Delivery Model.<\/p>\n<p>The Port 精东传媒 Specialist School (PPSS) and Melbourne Specialist International School (MSIS) partnership is a wonderful opportunity to build truly international Specialist Education. The team at PPSS are extremely excited by the partnership and the potential to share approaches and further develop the best practices within Special Education across two countries and locations. By working collaboratively and sharing expertise we believe both settings will strive forward in the implementation of relevant programs to support students with disabilities to reach their potential.<\/p>\n<p>With Juliet leading the implementation of PPSS\u2019s programs and models at MSIS we are confident students with Special education needs in Singapore will be well supported.<\/p>\n<h3>Philanthropic\/Business Partnerships<\/h3>\n<p>As a government school PPSS is primarily funded for basic day to day operational costs. There would not be any of the \u201cextras\u201d (services and resources beyond the government model) if it wasn\u2019t for the way in which partnerships have been developed with other government, corporate, community and individual entities to raise philanthropic support for the school.<br \/>\nThrough tireless networking and the belief in the motto \u201cjust do it\u201d, the school has been transformed from an under-resourced \u201cneedy\u201d school to a thriving school community that would rival any private college for resources, teaching and education programs and facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Projects established in partnership with philanthropic support include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Senior Playground Upgrade<\/li>\n<li>PPSS in partnership with the Pratt Foundation and State Government have developed a fully serviced performing arts centre including: performance space, audio\/visual recording studio, arts room and gymnasium.<\/li>\n<li>The Lady Brockhoff Music Centre<\/li>\n<li>The Thiess Independent Living House<\/li>\n<li>The Nell Griffin Information Technology Centre<\/li>\n<li>Variety Club of Victoria\/Port 精东传媒 Specialist School<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At every stage students are involved and enmeshed in every Community function, i.e. the Choir sings, children\u2019s\u2019 art work is utilised.<\/p>\n<h3>Educational Partnerships<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Appointment of Prof Carl Parsons, Assoc Dean of Research, Latrobe University.
