Helping Every Child

Discover Their Strengths

For over a century, St Gabriel’s School has supported young people with additional needs through specialised learning, compassionate teaching and a strong sense of community.

Founded as a school for the deaf and now serving students with a range of learning and sensory needs, we provide tailored education from Primary through to Secondary in a purpose-built environment designed for growth and confidence.

Our students build independence, develop communication and life skills, and discover their potential in a place where they feel valued and understood.

Growing with Confidence

in Primary School

Our Primary classes have 8 students with a dedicated teacher and a learning support officer. Primary students take part in English, Mathematics, Science History, Geography, Personal Development and Health and Religion with their class teacher, and Art, Music and Physical Education with a specialist teacher. In addition to this they participate in House Meetings, Pastoral Care and assemblies each fortnight.

Learning to Thrive

in Secondary School

Our Secondary students have classes of 10 to 12 students with a homeroom teacher and learning support staff. They stay in these cohorts to attend classes in English, Maths, Science, Music, Languages, Food Technology, Textiles and Applied Sciences and Physical Education.

When they enter Year 11 and 12 the students can choose to undertake accredited Vocational Educational Training courses, such as Hospitality. We also have work experience training facilities on site, like our Mini Woolies retail store.
