"Just wanted to share the good news that Ijal completed his HSC with an ATAR of 83!! We are happy with his result considering the challenges he has been through. Ijal is hoping to receive an offer into a Maths degree at a uni here in Sydney".
"We are incredibly grateful to you and the staff at Sydney Children’s Hospital for all the hard work, advocacy, advice and support that has made this possible".
"Thank you for providing such a nurturing and safe space for our boy to learn over the past 8 months. We're grateful for all of your support"

Delta therapy dog program
Honey is a gentle, fun-loving 9-year-old Golden Retriever with the perfect temperament for the Delta Classroom Canines Program. She be visits weekly, supported by Michelle and our school staff.
Honey joins students in small group and individual activities, helping with literacy, pro-social skills, motivation, social connection, and wellbeing. All interactions are voluntary, and students will be guided on how to safely engage with her.
Research shows therapy dogs can reduce anxiety and boost learning — and we’re excited to see the positive impact Honey will bring to our school community.
Art Program
Our Art Program brings creativity, colour, and inspiration into the classroom. Guided by the philosophy “Art celebrating life”, the program encourages students to explore their imagination, build confidence, and discover the joy of self-expression through art.
By partnering with schools, we create opportunities for children to connect with professional artists, experiment with different mediums, and showcase their work in meaningful ways. The program not only nurtures artistic skills but also supports wellbeing, resilience, and a sense of community.
Together, we’re helping students see the world through a more creative lens.
We work with families, carers and support staff to make a learning and wellbeing plan for each student. This means all students can learn in a way that suits them best.
Alongside our curriculum, students take part in programs that build skills in:
- communication
- independence
- life skills
- social skills.
Our classrooms are set up to meet each student’s needs. We make sure students feel safe, respected and ready to learn in a way that suits them. Our staff are caring and are skilled to help students feel confident, connected and proud of who they are.
Our school uses a placement process. Enrolment occurs through a formal referral. Families and schools can contact us if they think our school might be right for their child. To learn more, visit our enrolment enquiries page.
