About the school
Carenne School is a specialised educational institution located in the Bathurst School Education Group, catering to students aged 4 to 18 with moderate and severe intellectual, sensory, autism, and multiple disabilities. The school is dedicated to fostering an environment where all children can learn, and its primary focus is on developing personal independence and community participation among its students. Each student at Carenne School benefits from a tailored individual education program (IEP), which outlines their educational priorities, planned content, and the sequence of instruction. These IEPs are collaboratively created by parents, teachers, and external therapists to ensure consistent application across school, home, and the larger community.
The school enjoys robust support from the Bathurst district community, participating in numerous local events throughout the year. Carenne School features an outstanding work experience programme for senior students, providing them with valuable opportunities to develop skills relevant to the workforce. Additionally, it boasts extensive information technology resources and a well-regarded early intervention programme, aimed at giving students a strong foundation for their educational journey. The commitment to inclusion and support extends beyond classroom learning, with a focus on holistic student development and engagement with families and community stakeholders.
