About the school
Verona School is a School for Special Purposes located in Fairfield East, dedicated to supporting students with specific needs in Years 5 to 8. The school caters to approximately 21 students, providing an inclusive educational environment that prioritises social and emotional learning. Students initially attend Verona for four days a week, and gradually reintegrate into their home schools, aiming for full integration over a 40-week period. This approach promotes a coordinated intervention in collaboration with families and referring schools.
Program Focus
The Verona program focuses on improving classroom and playground interactions, self-management behaviours, problem-solving skills, and conflict resolution. The school develops programs tailored to the holistic needs of each student, encompassing social living skills and academic abilities across Key Learning Areas. By reflecting competencies necessary for inclusion in mainstream education, Verona also supports the professional development of teachers in behaviour management strategies.

The school welcomes students from diverse backgrounds, fostering a supportive and inclusive community. Verona actively engages with families to co-design individual learning plans, ensuring educational approaches meet the specific needs of students.
