Specialist Support Classes meet the faith, educational, social and wellbeing needs of students by providing a rigorous, yet highly supported educational program for students with intellectual disabilities and complex needs. Students’ educational needs are met through:

• Evidence-based strategies and targeted resourcing
• Individualised planning and goal setting
• Highly skilled and experienced teachers
• Engaging and holistic learning experiences
• Smaller class sizes and a high teacher to student ratio
• Speech Pathologist and Occupational Therapist within class supports

Every student is encouraged to excel in a multitude of ways, through personalised and self-paced learning, where student voice and special interests are incorporated into the class program. Students enrolled in Specialist Support Classes will be important, valued members of the school community and will be included in every aspect of the life of the school. Students may also be eligible for the Assisted Supported Travel Program.

St Therese’s Catholic Primary School opened our Specialist Support Class in January 2026. Our school is  accepting Expressions of Interest for families who are interested in applying for a position in our newly opened and furnished  support classes.
