Special Needs Support
We have a range of educational options to support students with special learning needs which require additional support.
Every student in NSW is entitled to attend a NSW public school. If our school is your local school and your first preference, we suggest you talk to our Principal to discuss your son's needs and options.
Following your discussion, his learning needs will be assessed so that decisions can be made about whether he would be best suited to learning:
- in a regular class with additional support, or
- in a special class in a regular or special school.
You will be involved in any decision about the type of support.
