Mainsbridge School

Mainsbridge School, located in Warwick Farm, is a Kindergarten to Year 12 School for Specific Purposes (SSP) dedicated to providing quality special education programs for students with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities. Currently, the school serves an enrolment of 116 students and has an active and supportive school community that boasts an average attendance rate of 70% at planned events.

Education and Support

The focus at Mainsbridge School is on communication programs and Individual Education Plans (IEPs), which are developed collaboratively with parents and carers to ensure that educational needs are effectively met. The school modifies its programs in accordance with the NSW Board of Studies Curriculum, ensuring that students receive a tailored educational experience designed to promote growth and engagement.

Positive Behaviour and Community Integration

The school implements a discipline policy featuring clear rules and strategies aimed at fostering positive behaviour. This approach is encapsulated in the Positive Behaviour for Learning framework. Additionally, integration and community access programs are pivotal, enabling students to develop both academic and social skills within regular educational and community settings. Notably, the Sailability program at Penrith Lakes, initiated in 2008, encourages students to engage in sailing, fostering self-confidence and a sense of achievement.

Facilities and Developments

Mainsbridge School benefits from modern facilities following its recent relocation alongside Warwick Farm Public School. This development has resulted in purpose-built facilities that cater specifically to the needs of special needs students across primary and high school levels, accommodating the growing local community.

At Mainsbridge School our vision is to connect our students with their future. We deliver quality, holistic education through innovation, collaboration and a positive learning environment. Driving a culture of high expectations, we aim to equip our students with functional living skills, enabling them to become active members of their community.
