About the school
Coreen School is a special education facility located in Blacktown, catering to secondary students from Years 7 to 12. The school serves students who have been assessed with a mild to moderate intellectual disability, emotional disturbance, behaviour disorder, or learning difficulties. It provides an alternative educational setting for those who have faced challenges in regular classrooms or support units. Coreen School emphasises small class sizes and offers a tailored life skills curriculum, ensuring each student receives personalised support. The school has good facilities, including specialised classrooms, a gym, and a swimming pool, which contribute to a positive learning environment.
The school predominantly draws students from the surrounding local government areas, including Parramatta, Blacktown, Nepean, and Hawkesbury. With approximately 70 students enrolled, Coreen School also runs tutorial programs allowing joint enrolment with mainstream high schools, enabling students to engage with a broader curriculum. The school promotes quality teaching through its involvement with the Priority Schools Program (PSP) and collaborates with local organisations, such as the Nurringingy Local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group, to support holistic education. Overall, Coreen School focuses on helping every student learn, grow, and succeed within a friendly and inclusive community.
