The Childrens Hospital School

Education Perth introduces The Childrens Hospital School in Westmead, for all your education and learning needs.

The Hospital School at The Childrens Hospital at Westmead, the largest hospital school in NSW, provides quality education to support the development of motivated, resilient students who become critical and creative thinkers through access to high quality personalised learning. This unique school accommodates patients from throughout NSW, other states and overseas. A daily enrolment of over 100 Kindergarten to Year 12 students from both government and non-government schools attend either in one of our four classrooms or are taught at the bedside by our ward teachers. Our Principal leads the highly qualified and experienced teaching staff, who are all trained in primary or secondary teaching with expertise in Special Education, Emotional Disturbance or Hearing Loss. Each class is supported by a School Learning Support Officer who provides additional individual assistance to implement Personalised Learning and Support Plans as well as facilitating student’s growth towards independence as they transition back to their census school. In partnership with all stakeholders including students and their families, medical staff, allied health professionals, government and non-government agencies and census schools, we provide continuity of educational services in a centre for expertise to students who are hospitalised with chronic and serious illnesses. Our learning support team coordinates accommodations and adjustments to meet all students’ needs relating to their personal care, safety, self-regulation or social interaction, which impacts significantly on their participation and learning.
