About Us
We are a growing school.
Our school has been built to hold 575 students and we anticipate we will reach this number within our first 3 years. We will always give priority to the educational needs of the students when making decisions about the organisation and structure of our learning community groups.
Supported inclusion school
Barrawang Primary School is part of the Supported Inclusion Schools initiative. This means that the school will provide inclusive education for a significant cohort of students with an intellectual disability within a mainstream school setting.
Barrawang Primary supports the principle that every student is able to attend their designated neighbourhood government school. As a Supported Inclusion School, we will provide a safe, accessible and inclusive environment for every student who enrols.
Our school has been designed and purpose built to be inclusive. This means that the buildings are designed following Universal Design Principles, so that there are no physical barriers to a student with a physical or intellectual ability to attend the school.
Barrawang Primary School supports all students through:
-
Providing reasonable adjustments for all students
-
Student Support Groups
-
Individual Education Plans
-
Working with families of all children
-
Inclusive Educational Environment
