Additional Information

Woniora Road School is a School for Specific Purpose located in Hurstville. The school offers full-time enrolment for 42 secondary-aged students from the Southern Sydney Metropolitan area who have been offered placement via referral to a regional placement panel. All students have been diagnosed with an internalising emotional disorder and/or mental health issues and have been referred after extended periods of disengagement from learning through either non-attendance and/or safety concerns in the mainstream environment stemming from their mental health issues.

Woniora Road School aims to provide a safe and inclusive environment with a strong focus on equitable outcomes, opportunities and experiences for all students. Staff work in partnership with parents and the wider community, to foster independence, resilience, accountability and a sense of achievement in our students. By providing engaging academic programs in a highly supportive environment, the school will enable students to achieve academic goals and have an improved sense of wellbeing. These new positive trajectories will then be leveraged to support successful transitions to meaningful post school pathways. By instilling a culture of inclusivity which celebrates the strengths of everybody in our school community, we believe our students can feel valued and inspired to have a renewed sense of hope and persevere through their learning journey to fulfil their potential.
