Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese is committed to providing an inclusive education for students. We recognise that some students with a moderate intellectual disability as a primary disability and low adaptive functioning may require an alternate learning environment. High support learning settings are located at three CSPD schools. The learning for students enrolled in these centres reflects their needs and, where appropriate, will include attendance in some mainstream classes.
You are encouraged to begin the enrolment process at least 1 year in advance of the regular enrolment period to allow for assessment of the support and adjustments required for your child.
