We have six to eight students in most classes. Our Junior Class is a double class with up to twelve students.

At St Patrick's Special School, we have an Allied Health Team on staff. The primary role of the Allied Health Team is to facilitate student access to the curriculum and the school environment. This is achieved by working as a team with staff, families and external service providers to enable a Team Around the Child (TAC) approach to ensure a holistic service is provided and to establish routines in every day situations. 

As such, we do not have external therapists access the site for the purpose of therapy sessions; however, if they would like to visit the site or conduct an observation, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Allied Health team, and they would be more than happy to assist you. 

At St Patrick's Special School we offer a Highly Personalised Learning program for our students, based on the Australian Curriculum. For additional information regarding our curriculum, please see here
