Enrolment
The school accepts enrolment of students between the age of five and eighteen years. Eligibility for enrolment is determined by an educational psychology assessment in the moderate, severe or profound range. The school can arrange for this assessment.
Students may also have additional disabilities such as vision, hearing, physical or Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Once a student is enrolled a Student Support Group (SSG) meeting is convened to complete the Educational Needs Questionnaire.
Group sizes vary between five and eight students and work with a teacher and teacher assistant.
Additional support is provided where required
The current enrolment is 60 students.
