About the school
Karonga School provides a stimulating educational environment that promotes maximum learning and participation for all students. The school serves a diverse population with significant learning needs, many of whom require health care procedures. To cater to these varied requirements, a wide range of curriculum options, behaviour management strategies, and instructional methods are employed, ensuring maximum engagement and achievement of learning outcomes. All students have personalised learning plans that are collaboratively devised by parents, carers, and staff, fostering development with minimal assistance.
The school is located on eight acres in Epping, emphasising sustainable living practices through active participation in growing and consuming vegetables and herbs from its gardens. Karonga School has a supportive parent association and strong community involvement, further enriching the educational experience.
Students can enrol from preschool age to eighteen years and beyond. The school offers various educational programs, many of which are conducted within the local community. An award-winning upgrade completed in 2013 enhanced the school's facilities, providing refurbished classrooms and a new home base block designed with environmentally sustainable materials, reinforcing the school's commitment to modern educational standards. With its dedicated teachers and a comprehensive Learning and Support Team, Karonga School strives to ensure that every student finds a meaningful and supportive learning path.
