Special needs support
There are a range of educational options to support students with special learning needs who may require additional support.
Every student is entitled to attend a NSW public school.
- Enrolling in school
Starting at a new school is a big step for all students and their families. If you are thinking about enrolment, we can help with your son’s or daughter’s transition to school. Please contact our principal to make an appointment to discuss.
You might like to use our school locator to research regular and special schools which have specialist classes. It is important to be aware that placement in a school's support class is done with the assistance of the regional team.
- Already at school
If you have concerns about your son’s or daughter’s development or progress at school, or if they have special learning needs which have changed, please contact the principal so that we can best cater for your needs.
