The Sycamore School is a school for young people living with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The school provides a safe and inclusive educational environment with programs supported by allied health, aimed at achieving academic, social, emotional and behavioural goals.
Using a strengths-based approach, new and innovative ways of teaching alongside evidence-informed strategies and the national curriculum, the school provides a positive learning environment with the instruction of quality teaching, community engagement and support programs providing pathways to assist students on their educational journey.
The Sycamore School works to provide young people with opportunities to reach their potential. It’s not just about meeting curriculum outcomes; it’s about giving each student a voice, giving them the tools to advocate for themselves and to be involved in the decision-making processes of their lives. It’s about giving them confidence, self-determination, and a valued place in our community.
Our approach is simple; the child is the centre. Programming practice on each student and what makes them unique, as we believe that this will allow for learning opportunities to be recognised and implemented to their fullest extent. We believe in the promise and potential of each child and this is our motivation.
At The Sycamore School, we provide an Autism Friendly Learning Environment, a Spectrum of Choice and a Place of Celebration.
