Sutherland Hospital School

The Sutherland Hospital School is a K to 12 educational institution located within the Children's Ward of Sutherland Hospital, catering to students aged 3 to 18 years who are hospitalised due to various reasons, including illness, injuries, and social or psychological needs. The school primarily serves children from southern Sydney, providing educational services that aim to ensure continuity and quality during their hospital stay. Students may attend classes in the schoolroom or receive bedside instruction, with support tailored to accommodate their medical conditions.

Educational Approach

The school is committed to personalising learning experiences for each child, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment from day one. By working closely with medical staff and home schools, the Sutherland Hospital School ensures students do not fall behind in their education while receiving care. The curriculum aligns with state educational standards, offering a wide range of subjects that empower students to explore their passions and develop essential skills.

Community Support

In addition to academic offerings, the school values collaboration with families, co-designing educational plans that cater to individual student needs. The dedicated staff strive to make learning engaging and meaningful, embracing the unique challenges faced by students during their hospitalisation. By maintaining strong connections with both students and their families, the school plays a vital role in the children’s overall wellbeing and educational journey.

At our school, we work closely with students on the Child and Adolescent Ward to make sure their learning and wellbeing needs are supported with care and in a way that’s personalised to their needs. We offer our students a wide range of subjects and opportunities.
