Lyrebird College

Welcome to Lyrebird College, an independent school located in Coldstream, Australia. Situated in the picturesque Yarra Ranges, our institution is dedicated to providing a quality education for children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from foundation to year 10.

At Lyrebird College, we cater to the needs of children who require the highest levels of support. Our expert staff are committed to delivering a fun and safe learning environment, ensuring that our students receive a quality outcome-focused education. We understand that every child is unique, and therefore we provide a tailored Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) program, taking their education and associated support to the next level.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a lifelong condition that affects 1 in 100 Australian children, meaning that 1 in 100 Australian families are impacted by this disorder. The Australian Medical Association defines autism as developmental disabilities characterized by difficulties in social interaction, impaired communication, restricted and repetitive interests and behaviors, as well as sensory sensitivities. Recognizing that the difficulties associated with autism occur on a spectrum, Lyrebird College supports individuals impacted at varying degrees.

Choosing the right education for a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder is a crucial decision for families, especially for those with complex needs requiring high levels of support. At Lyrebird College, we firmly believe that in the right setting, all children can learn and exceed expectations. It is this belief that led to the establishment of Lyrebird College in 2016, to provide the necessary "right settings" that were lacking.

Conveniently located in Coldstream, in the heart of the Yarra Valley, Lyrebird College offers a welcoming and inclusive environment for our students. Whether it's our specialized programs, dedicated staff, or our commitment to excellence, we strive to ensure that every child at Lyrebird College receives the education and support they deserve.
