We strive to be an inclusive and welcoming school for all, but we are not a designated special needs school. Therefore do not have the resources, funding or expertise to appropriately support some students, including:

• Students with severe behaviour challenges, oppositional defiance, or any history of aggression or physical violence.
• Students who require 1:1 support (unless the family provides their own support person).
• Students who require nursing staff or who are considered medically fragile (unless the family provides their own support person).
• Students who may be a flight risk or danger to themselves or others in an outdoor learning environment.

Please contact us prior to application if your child has complex or special needs. We will be happy to discuss whether your child will benefit from our program.
